This is ridiclous
Introducing the new Apple Power Bottom.
Optional $200 dock with satisfyingly clicky lever mechanism that is activated from the front.
Looking forward to see the 3D prints made to fix this “feature”.
Hahaha I thought this was the onion and the button was the big fugly thing that covers the whole bottom
They clearly want you to let this one running 24/7, or, can you turn it on using the keyboard and that low power BT thing?
Apple insider are already framing this as not a design flaw but an advantage somehow
Just run it upside down.
At least it does mean your cat can never turn off your pc ever again with this
Guess the Magic Mouse design team was getting bored
Asahi Linux 👀
?
excellent marketing strategy to get us talking about their stuff that would otherwise get almost completely under our radar.
i mean fuck where the power button of a product ill probably never need is.
This is the epitome of a first-world problem.
exacly. like how is this even news.
Don’t worry, there will be suitable USB accessories available for this.
Only $299!
“that’s insane!”
gets wallet out
“I can’t believe this!”
gets out card
“unbelievable!”
And a $199 stand for it, sold separately.
The generic Chinese version that does the same thing: $12
No, it’ll be paired to specifically to your computer and doesn’t work on anyone else’s computer.
It’s going to Bluetooth since the Chinese version does not want to pay for the licensing fees.
Just like a Raspberry Pi needs a dongle for a power button, except the Mini has one already.
Does macOS respond to external keyboard power button presses because if so this could very well be as easy money-making real product
This is fake right
Part of the new Apple power bottom design strategy.
Apple is finally appealing to my interests
Hello.
As long as your default mode is sleep it’d be ok. I touch my PCs power button only when it crashes so horribly that a forced shutdown is the only way out…
Just be thankful they didn’t put the power cord there like they did with the mouse.
Imagine! a computer that you can’t use while it’s plugged in.
I think they call that Windows.
