Apple improves the poor charging port of the Magic Mouse.

What seemed inconceivable could become a reality. Apple has managed to solve the issue of the Magic Mouse and the awkward location of its charging port.

Finally, an eagerly awaited update could arrive for many users: Apple is reportedly working on a new model of Magic Mouse, aimed at improving the placement of its charging port. According to reports, the current model is nearing the end of its lifespan, and the company is in the process of conducting a complete overhaul of the device.

Recently, Apple made a significant change by incorporating a USB-C charging port, moving away from its Lightning connection. However, a major issue persists regarding the port's position, which remains located on the bottom of the mouse. This makes the device unusable while charging, as it must rest on an uncomfortable surface with the cable connected.

The new Magic Mouse, which will feature a revamped design, is expected to be ready within 12 to 18 months, although it is still uncertain when it will be available on the market. Apple’s engineering, prototyping, and quality testing processes are usually lengthy, which adds time before mass production of the accessory begins.

It is noteworthy that such a relevant device, launched over ten years ago, has not seen significant improvements over time. Many critics have pointed out its poor ergonomics and described the awkward placement of the charging port as a major drawback. Various reviews have labeled the Magic Mouse as "terribly uncomfortable," suggesting that it is a poor investment due to its difficult handling and taxing user experience.

Taking advantage of this situation, some technology enthusiasts have proposed creative solutions to improve how the mouse is held and address the issues with the port. Expectations are high, and users are hoping that the next model not only retains its responsiveness and smooth gestures but also addresses the ergonomic problems that have been heavily criticized.
