You may love or hate Apple’s Magic Mouse, and with that in mind, the rumor mill has it that a completely redesigned version of the peripheral is en route for 2026, complete with touch and voice controls incorporated into the design.
According to a noted Korean Apple news aggregator known as “yeux1122,” Apple’s next-generation Magic Mouse will feature a new, more ergonomic design that addresses long-standing complaints, including the location of the charging port.
Although the Magic Mouse switched from a Lightning port to a USB-C port a few months ago, the charging port remains located at the bottom of the mouse, which prevents it from being used while charging. Per the leaked rumor, Apple will be shifting the position of the charging port at lost last.
Apple has apparently designed a prototype of the new mouse that incorporates a mixture of touch, voice controls, and hand gestures, making it more suitable for today’s computing demands. It reportedly plans to release the new Magic Mouse alongside the OLED, “M6” MacBook Pro in 2026.
Over the years, Apple has made low-key changes to the Magic Mouse design, such as switching from AA batteries to a built-in rechargeable battery in 2015, new color-matching options with the iMac in 2021, and the switch from Lightning to USB-C earlier this year. Come 2026, something more radical may be in the works.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
