According to some computer code found in the iOS 18.1 liberation nominee ( viaMacRumors ) , Apple may soon launch new versions of its ill-famed Magic Mouse , Magic Trackpad , and Magic Keyboard . It ’s about deuced sentence .
The code reference Magic Keyboard versions with and without Touch ID . There ’s not much intel on the rest of the feature for these devices , but we know they ’re all , at least , switching to Type - C charging , as perthe EU ’s new mandate . MacRumors predicts October for the three releases , alongside theupcoming M4 Mac card .
Apple ’s Magic peripherals have systematically receive big critique for geezerhood now . The computer mouse is designed incredibly unintuitively , with the Lighting port on its underside , out of all places . This manifestly work reload it a pain , and it ’s nonsensical that you ca n’t practice it while it ’s being charge .

My least preferred feature on the trackpad is the deficiency of travel . The button is ridiculously shallow , and the press is far from satisfying . I employ my MacBook Air alone for indication and composition , but I ca n’t even imagine what a pain this trackpad would be for excogitation or editing software . Like the trackpad , the keys on the Magic Keyboard also lack travel and are far from zippy or clicky .
Various engineer have attempted to make the Magic Mouse more ergonomic and user - friendly . To get it to reload while being used , Matty Benedetto , the guy behind the famous YouTube channelUnnecessary Inventions , once 3-D - printed a booster for the back of the Magic Mouse 2 that rolled around on a pair of metal ball bearings . The weightlifter was supposed to leave the computer mouse to slew around a desk while connected to a power germ . unluckily , that failed .
Another renowned engineer , Ivan Kuleshov , shareda paradigm he create for the mouseon X. He first try out with several dissimilar mouse enclosures and at last piece one that could reload the black eye while being used .
Also , let ’s not forget that one hilarious cartridge holder with Apple CEO Tim Cook that went viral around the 2024 Worldwide Developer Conference . Post - conference , when YouTuber Marques Brownlee , more usually known as MKBHD , sit around down to have a one - on - one with the chief operating officer and inquired about the Magic Mouse , this iswhat Cook had to say :
The Magic Mouse . Uhhhhhhh . It was also an incredible moment . Ummmmm . People do n’t think of that as much as they would the Macbook Air and the iPad and whatever else you ’re going to name probably . Uhhhhhhh . But the , getting the biotechnology well , done – and uh – was key . Yeah .
