Your comment can be turned on its head. It’s exactly because Apple ended up making a mouse that can’t be charged during use that their contribution to VR are vital: they think different.
Their mouse has a great battery life that requires charging it sparingly. Your Mac tells you when it needs charging.
They thought about the mouse charging problem. They arrived at different answers than the rest of the industry.
Sometimes when you "think different" you invent relativity, and sometimes you invent Time Cube.
Every mouse on the market has a battery life of months. Every mouse on the market will tell the user when the battery runs down. Apple is not special. The thing is just built wrong. And they haven't fixed it after all these years.
That is the smallest fatal flaw with that mouse. The bigger flaw is ergonomics. Selling something that likely to cause injury should be illegal.
My Logitech MX lasts a couple of months on a charge, and Gnome warns when it is down to 20%, and it's done that for as long as I can remember.
The difference here is that sometimes I ignore the warning and then it gets too low but I can plug it in as I use it for 20 mins, whereas a Mac user can't.
Exactly. I figure they put the mouse charging on the bottom on purpose so that people would not just leave it plugged in. I end up charging my mouse about once every few months so it’s not an issue.

Wah, that is crazy. What is so special about this mouse that it needs so little power? Why isn't this reported more widely!? Other wireless mice that I have used need regular recharging or new disposable batteries. Always a sub-par experience.
Yeah that’s why the port’s on the bottom. To force a change in habit learned from subpar hardware. The thing charges enough to last a whole day in like a minute or two.
