That’s so upsetting. I’d love to replace my Magic Trackpad for one without a lightning port but for some reason they don’t refresh their peripherals.
Why, though? If you already have it and it’s already hooked up to a lightning cable you already have, what would a refresh get you?
There’s a bit of comfort in only ever needing one type of cable, I guess, but I’m not sure it outweighs the hassle for me.
The battery in the Trackpad is also slowly dying and it appears to be a glue sandwich, so there’s no easy way to replace it. So whenever I gotta charge it every few weeks, I need to dig up my lightning cable just for that. I’d prefer to replace the Trackpad entirely, especially if a new generation offers more features or other hardware advantages.
I mean if it bothers you that much they have like $10 adapters on Amazon that are male lightning to USB-C female. and they even work with PD chargers.
Much cheaper than the $129 they’ll charge when the new one comes out
