    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.

      Maybe I’m a caveman but I have never minded cables on stationary peripherals.

      Mice and gamepads for sure are wireless. But nearly everything else is wired for me and I have no issues.

        I think it depends on your setup. I prefer to have no cables on the desk. There’s already a switch and a gaming PC, so the risk of cable clutter is high. Whatever I can eliminate, I do.

      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
