Why can't they put the power button on the front where it belongs. It's already stupid that they put it on the back, putting it on the bottom is downright idiotic. If they don't want to mess up the oh so important Apple aesthetic just make it an invisible touch button or something. Apple hates usability.

Yeah, make the logo a button or something.

Oh no, I'll have to slightly lift a tiny box on my desk several times a year!

Here we go again making mountains out of mole hills for Apple.

I am all for calling out Apple for their treatment of workers in ASIA, or their wealth, heck even the closed garden, but this… nah fam I don’t care where the button is.

I guess you could flip it around and make the bottom the top 🙃

Unfortunately "punish them by not buying it" won't work for someone as big as them.

I… uh… I know it’s going to be an unpopular opinion, but it makes sense. It’s not intended for daily usage - macs wake up on a keyboard or cursor movement. Sitting on the back increases the chance of accidental presses when you are trying to plug something in.

You have a very few specific incidents where you would need to press the power button. 80% of their user base will not use the power button after the first initial press.
