Apple put the Magic Mouse’s charging port on the bottom again

Apple's new USB-C-equipped Magic Mouse somehow still has the charging port on the bottom. While Apple could have used the launch as an opportunity to move the charging port from the bottom of the device – where the port has remained for almost a decade, despite other updates to the mouse and the decision being ridiculed – is the connection is still there.

This new $99 Magic Mouse means that for the foreseeable future, Apple still believes that the best way to charge your Magic Mouse is to flip it over to plug it in so you can't use it. Why?

There were other solutions to the Magic Mouse's ridiculous charging situation. For example, my colleague Wes Davis wrote about an ergonomic grip for the Magic Mouse 2 that can charge the mouse via MagSafe. But Apple apparently didn't think it needed to make a big change to the position of the charging port, so you have to flip it over again to get a little more juice.
