What to Expect From Apple's Rumored Magic Mouse 3

Apple is finally working on a new Magic Mouse that will address some "longstanding complaints," according to a recent report.

Below, we outline what to expect from the Magic Mouse 3.

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is working on a "full overhaul" of the Magic Mouse with a design that "better fits the modern era."

While the Magic Mouse switched from Lightning to USB-C a few months ago, the charging port is still located on the bottom of the mouse, which prevents it from being used while charging. This is only a minor inconvenience, as charging the mouse is a quick and infrequent process, but Gurman said Apple will finally solve this issue.

"Apple is looking to create something that's more relevant, while also fixing longstanding complaints — yes, including the charging port issue," said Gurman.

He also said the next Magic Mouse will be more ergonomic and comfortable to use.

The overall look of the Magic Mouse has not changed much since 2009, so a redesign has been a long time coming. However, Gurman does not expect the new Magic Mouse to be released in the "next 12 to 18 months," so it sounds like Apple's work on it is still in the early stages. Expect a new Magic Mouse to launch in 2026 at the earliest.
