Apple isn't immune to not-so-great design choices: Hockey puck mouse (personally never had a problem but most did), the iPod Speaker system, iPhone antenna issues, the yellowing cases in old MacBooks, the ever breaking Apple Pro Mouse, allowing the Motorola iTunes phone to be a thing, the G4 Cube, previous mediocre iPhone cases, mobile me, the egregious skuemophism that gave skuemoprhism a bad name, a few ugly iMac patterns all under the banner of Jobs.
The case is ugly but functional, the magic mouse however is just plain out poor design. This is jumping the gun. It's like declaring "Whatever happened to Google design?" After the Pixel C.
