Apple Poised to Refresh Magic Mouse with Design Overhaul
Apple is reportedly tackling a long-standing source of user frustration: its Magic Mouse. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the tech giant is currently developing a fully redesigned version of the peripheral, aiming to address numerous complaints.
In his recent Power On newsletter, Gurman revealed that Apple has been engaged in a “full overhaul” of the Magic Mouse in recent months. The goal, he stated, is a design that “better fits the modern era.” While the specifics of these improvements remain under wraps, the news is sure to excite many users who have long voiced their dissatisfaction with the current model.
“apple in recent months has been working on a ‘full overhaul’ of the Magic Mouse with a design that ‘better fits the modern era’,” Gurman wrote.
While the prospect of a revamped Magic mouse is exciting, Gurman tempered expectations regarding its release. He doesn’t anticipate the new model hitting the market within the “next 12 to 18 months.” This suggests a potential launch sometime in late 2025 or even 2026.
The current Magic Mouse, while sleek, has been criticized for its charging port placement (requiring users to charge it upside down, rendering it unusable during this time) and its overall ergonomics. A redesigned model addressing these issues would be a welcome change for many Apple users. The lack of a more cozy design has been a consistent point of contention among consumers and reviewers alike.
This redesign is part of a broader trend within Apple to refresh its product line, focusing on user feedback and incorporating modern design aesthetics. The company’s commitment to addressing user concerns, as evidenced by this Magic Mouse overhaul, suggests a continued focus on improving the user experience across its entire product ecosystem.
As more details emerge regarding the redesigned Magic Mouse, we will continue to update this story. Stay tuned to world-today-news.com for the latest in Apple news and technology updates.
