What's the expected lifetime of a mouse, and what's the expected useable lifetime of a li-ion battery? Yes, it will degrade over time, but you'll continue to get use out of it. I'd peg both at about 4-5 years at this point.

It's not apple that's implementing planned obsolescence. It's the entire industry, and it's defacto obsolescence. Or would you still expect to be using your microsoft ball mouse from 1999 today?
