Apple is working on a redesigned successor to the Magic Mouse, according to bloombergMark Gurman is in today's power on NewsletterThis new mouse will address some user complaints, including the pesky charging port.
Gurman writes that Apple's design team has been creating prototypes of the mouse in recent months with the aim of creating “something that better fits the modern age.” He doesn't go into any specific details — the group still hasn't settled on a design — except that the mouse will address charging port location and other “long-standing complaints.” According to Gurman, it is at least 12 to 18 months away from release.

I'm kidding; After 15 years of largely the same design, the Magic Mouse has plenty of room for improvement, even with its recent USB-C revision for the M4 iMac release. Everyone is different, but my wish list includes adding some mechanical controls, addressing ergonomics (my hand always cramps after a while), and not having to spear the underbelly of the mouse to charge it.
