I thought as much. If I thought Apple would allow it if enough people requested it, I would give the feedback, but I know they won’t do it when they can be selling a Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad instead. Looks like I will be taking the plunge with a Magic Trackpad then 😭
Same reason why an iPod Touch or older non-updatable iPhone such as 1st Gen SE, 6+, etc would make perfect little Trackpads now they cannot be updated any further but still perfectly functional devices otherwise. Seems such a waste of working hardware that is too good to just hand over for “recycling”.
