Programmers who are not aware of the pitfalls will use the sync version and build apps that have terrible ux, so it’s better to not give them the option unless there’s a really good reason to, so what’s the use case here?

It’s all about tension on the lightning connector imo - the connector isn’t designed for that level of flexibility, so it would break and it’s not like they’re going to use a different connector just for the mouse

Agree, it reminds me a bit of the guy who was really obsessed by the mh370 mystery and happens to have found more pieces of the plane than anyone else. It’s certainly possible, but I remain skeptical

People can be pretty weird. I once received death threats over a technical blog post I’d written nearly a decade earlier, because the reader was upset that I hadn’t updated it. (The date was clearly labelled at the top of the post)
