The Apple Magic Mouse is a great option for users for multiple reasons, including its sleek finish, seamless integration into the company’s ecosystem, and trackpad-like touch gestures. However, since its launch, it has had a big flaw: the placement of its charging port on the bottom of the mouse.

The location of the charging port means that if your mouse dies, you can’t charge the device and work simultaneously, which is a major pain point for users like myself. In his latest “Power On” newsletter, Apple insider Mark Gurman revealed that Apple is working on a new, redesigned Magic Mouse.
The new mouse will tackle major criticisms with a full overhaul, including a new placement for the charging port, according to the report. However, don’t get your hopes up if you want a new mouse quickly.
Gurman shares that the device will likely not be released for another 12 to 18 months. There will be months of work, such as hardware engineering and software development, before a final product is ready for consumers to purchase.

Other new products that Apple is apparently working on include: an AirTag with an ultra-wide chip that makes it findable at a longer distance range, which could be ready as early as next year; a foldable device similar to an iPad, which likely won’t come to market until 2028; and a hypertension feature for the Apple Watch, which has been in development for several years, according to the report.
