Apple isreportedlyworking on a redesignedMagic Mousewith improved ergonomics and a relocated charging port. However, the new mouse might have a few unexpected surprises in store, likevoice controlcapabilities.
Anew report from yeux1222, a known leaker, suggests that the new Magic Mouse could support voice commands (translated via Google Translate). Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who firstreportedon the new Magic Mouse in December, addressed the leak onX, saying, “Voice control in the new Magic Mouse I wrote about this month makes sense in light of AI.”
Voice control on a Magic Mouse could let you interact withSiri and Apple Intelligencevia your mouse on your Mac. It’s an interesting idea, but Gurman also points out onXthat this could be an incorrectly translated report suggesting this.
Magic Mouse (USB-C)
Apple’s new Magic Mouse adopts USB-C charging, but otherwise maintains the same design and functions as its predecessors, with the charging port still on the bottom of the mouse.
Apple is reportedly working on a foldable iPad, but don’t expect it any time soon
Apple is reportedly working on a foldable iPad with no visible crease line, but it might not release until 2028.
The new Magic Mouse could arrive in 2026
The current design dates back to 2015
The Magic Mouse has been in dire need of a proper update for quite some time – the current design dates back to 2015, with the release of the second-generation Magic Mouse. Late last year, Apple released thethird-generation Magic Mouse, replacing the device’s Lightning port with a USB-C port. However, the design stayed the same.
Apple’s Magic Mouse redesignreportedly focuses heavily on improvingits “ergonomics and gestures” and finally relocating the charging port from the bottom of the mouse. In December,Gurman reportedthat the mouse would arrive in the next 12 to 18 months (early to mid-2026).
Whether it will have voice control or not is up in the air. The feature would require the implementation of a microphone in the Magic Mouse. The term voice control might also be unclear. It’s unlikely you’ll be controlling your mouse with your voice. Instead, you’ll likely be able to talk into your mouse to interact with Siri on your Mac.
Remember, these are just leaks and rumors, so take them with a grain of salt. 2025 has only just begun, so the updated Magic Mouse release is still far off and could change significantly between now and 2026.
