    No, Apple didn’t want to design a charging cable specifically for the mouse. The charging cable is exactly the same as the ones for the trackpad, keyboard, iPad and iPhone. The cable would break to damn fast when used connected to a mouse.

    It’s about parts supply management, not about the best mouse cable.

      Even in that case there exists solutions, like making a deeper cutout for the port along with some attachment mechanism to lock cable movement, preventing the port from wearing out.

      Or, they could have made the battery bigger.
