    Can’t they pull all lightning stock and replace the ports with USB-C, re-assemble, re-label the box, repackage and put them back on the shelf?

      Yeah, I came here for confirmation of this.

      And in particular because I literally looked up how long it’s been since the last update this weekend because I want a new pair.

      It’s been something like 770 days.

          I have gen 2s.

          Batteries are still great, as far as I can tell, but it’s time for an update.

      Agreed, when I bought my Apple studio I also bought a Logitech mouse and keyboard, imho better and cheaper than the Mac offering.

    I’m all for bashing apple about this, but when do we turn on all the micro-usb devices being released all the time? I feel like all the attention is on phones, but it’s 50/50 when I see a non-phone product if it’ll have micro-usb or usb-C.
