5 Products That Apple Completely Forgot About

In the middle of all the other changes in the previous years, Apple has overlooked some other products that they still sell. Here are five things we believe Apple should redesign, bring back, or completely get rid of.

Some of these products, such as the iSight webcam, are no longer available, while others are still accessible. While some of these items are fantastic, others have serious flaws that Apple has yet to solve. 1) Magic Mouse

Theoretically, Apple did update the Magic Mouse recently. Apple launched a new color way with the Mac Studio that combines a black plastic top surface with a metal silver bottom.

Apple's absurd bottom-charging design for the Magic Mouse isn't addressed in this update. This makes it impossible to operate the mouse while it is charging. Although charging takes only around 15 minutes and provides hours of usage, this does not excuse the terrible design decision. Apple has been delayed in redesigning the Magic Mouse with a better charging solution. 2) iPod Touch

According to Apple, the iPod Touch is all about "fun at full speed." Before launching its Apple Arcade service, the company even promoted it as a gaming device. It'd powered by the A10 Fusion processor, introduced in 2016 with the iPhone 7. With only a 4-inch Retina display, the iPod touch feels way too small, It sports an 8MP camera with 1080p HD video recording capabilities and a 1.2MP FaceTime HD camera. You can buy an iPod Touch in 2022 and cease receiving new versions of iOS as early as this fall. The iPod Touch isn't as popular as it once was. We don't know how much longer the hardware will receive software upgrades because it is so old. While Apple excels at sustaining mobile chipsets for years, it can't keep supporting aging chipsets eternally. 3) iSight Webcam

The iSight camera was discontinued in 2008, but it had made its way into MacBooks and iMacs by that time. With the debut of the iPhone 4, it was renamed FaceTime. This device was magnificent, and it resembled the design language of the Power Mac G5, which was also released that month. It was representative of a specific type of Apple product, one that has been lavished with utterly excessive amounts of affection, resulting in something that seemed stunning.

The microphone was noise canceling, it came with a little plastic pot to protect it while in your luggage, and you could vary the direction it pointed using a ball and socket joint on the bottom, which also served as the place where you attached the camera through FireWire. 4) Apple Watch Series 3

Given the superiority of the Apple Watch SE, we're not sure why Apple is still selling the Apple Watch Series 3. This smartwatch was first released in 2017, over 5 years ago; Apple's S3 SiP is at the heart of this watch. When compared to Apple Watch Series 7, which features Apple's S7 SiP, this is incredibly outdated. There hasn't been a speed bump with a new Apple Watch in a while, but the jump from S3 to S7 is significant. On Series 3, users have previously complained about sluggishness on watchOS 8, whilst leaks suggest that the Apple Watch Series 3 is on its last stretch and won't be receiving watchOS 9. Although you can get an Apple Watch Series 3 for under $200, that doesn't imply it's a good deal. This is one that Apple needs to let go of. 5) Fix Your God Damn Cables

The shockingly poorly built Lightning cables from Apple need to be rectified. Just ask a couple of people, and you'll hear a long list of consumer complaints about this basic white power cord. We're not even talking about the very sluggish data it supports; we're talking about how quickly it fails. Surprisingly, it appears that Apple is aware of the problem. A color-matched, nylon-wrapped cable is included with the 24-inch iMac. There's an even finer cable for the Mac Pro, with a larger gauge wire that's more durable.

That's well and dandy, but it ignores the shoddy cable that comes with its most popular devices, including the iPhone, iPad, and AirPods. These cables are the ones that are mistreated regularly and need to be changed the most.

Fraying can also occur if users frequently disconnect the Lightning cord by yanking on the cable rather than the adapter or the strengthened piece of plastic beneath the connection. The bottom line? If you're not prepared to take additional care of the Lightning cord that came with your iPhone, invest in a more robust third-party cable.
