I have no idea what I'm seeing here.

It’s an apple Magic Mouse and its new battery backup.

The possessive of “it” is just “its”

“It’s” is short for “it is” like “you’re” for “you are”

I’m not trying to be rude—just want to be helpful. I used to incorrectly use it’s the same way.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So did they write "its" or "it's"? Because the comment is currently correct.

No, it's not fixed.

and it's new...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think they just wanted to use its wrong

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

What about it's wrong?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Downvoters must have hated being in school. Rude teachers correcting grammar all day...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But for Henry's it's still apostrophe s. Because that makes sense.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Its is a possessive pronoun. His, hers, theirs, and its, not hi's, her's, their's, and it's.

A mouse that can only charge if placed upside down, or in rare 3rd party charging carriages. Apple making things nice, neat and simple as they usually do.

iPhone 15 pro USB C charging a Apple Magic mouse (lightning port located on the bottom).

(lightning port located on the bottom).

Wow. And I thought I had seen bad design before. It's rare to have a wireless device that is entirely disabled when charging.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

It's so people don't just leave the cable in so it always looks clean and slick.

...fucking hell

Apple - hold my beer

I know plenty of headphones that can't be used while charging, but that's often because it would be inconvenient to use simultaneously

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That was one of the main reasons why I sold my Sony headphones and replaced them with Airpods Max. Charging the headphones while in use isn’t really any more inconvenient than using wired headphones would be.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

My Sonys can't be used with Bluetooth when charging but you can use 3.5 mm audio input so they act like wired when charging. Probably because they're using a fairly standard Bluetooth chipset which also controls charging

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

To be fair, I charge my Magic Mouse once a month and it takes less than an hour. Throwing it on the charger overnight when I leave for the work day isn’t a huge deal.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

How does the phone know not to charge itself by draining the mouse?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Doesn't look like any sort of fruit I've seen!
