Apple Reportedly Redesigning Magic Mouse to Address Long-Standing Complaints

The updated design is expected to fix the infamous charging port placement and improve ergonomics, but it may take 12 to 18 months to launch.

Overview

  • Apple is reportedly working on a major redesign of the Magic Mouse, which has remained largely unchanged since its 2009 debut.
  • The new design aims to address user complaints, including the inconvenient bottom-positioned charging port that renders the mouse unusable while charging.
  • Ergonomics are another focus of the redesign, with Apple seeking to make the device more comfortable for extended use.
  • Prototypes of the redesigned mouse are currently in development, but a final version is not expected to hit the market until 2026 at the earliest.
  • The redesign follows minor updates over the years, such as switching from Lightning to USB-C, but Apple is now aiming for a more modern and user-friendly accessory.
