New Apple Mouse Coming (Someday, Maybe)

Mark Gurman, at Bloomberg:

The good news is, there’s a new Magic Mouse in the works. I’m told that Apple’s design team has been prototyping versions of the accessory in recent months, aiming to devise something that better fits the modern era.

I wasn’t looking for a complete rethink of the mouse with the recent update, but anything is better than the flat slap design for my wrist. Great, I’m in. I’ll start saving for WWDC25 when it…

As for when the mouse will arrive, I wouldn’t expect anything in the next 12 to 18 months. But the current Magic Mouse is nearing the end of its life, and Apple is working on a full overhaul. Once the design group settles on a final form, it will still take months or years of hardware engineering, software development and operations work to actually bring the mouse to market.

Never mind. Maybe my Microsoft Mouse will be resurrected by then.
