Apple’s Magic Mouse may be getting a big makeover in the next year or so

Mark Gurman reports that Apple is working on a redesigned Magic Mouse that will fix some of the most common complaints. And, its upcoming new AirTag will get a new ultra-wideband chip for greater range.

The Magic Mouse has gone a long time without any major changes to its design beyond things like dropping the AA batteries and gaining a USB-C port, but Apple is now reportedly planning an overhaul. In the Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman reports that Apple has started working on prototypes for a more modern version of the Magic Mouse, which was first released way back in 2009. While some users have loved the Magic Mouse for its gesture controls, other aspects like its nonergonomic design and its underside charging port have been the subject of complaints for years.
