Apple's next Magic Mouse could respond to your voice
Apple is said to be working on a new version of its Magic Mouse for Mac, according to a rumor shared by leaker yeux1122. The refreshed design would be more ergonomic and could even allow users to issue voice commands. This speculation comes in line with earlier rumors of an improved Magic Mouse 2 slated for 2026 release, likely with a relocated USB-C charging port.
New Magic Mouse design to meet modern computing needs
The leaker has indicated that the new Magic Mouse design will address "modern computing [needs] with a mixture of touch screen, voice command, and hand movement." This means a major evolution from the current model. The current Magic Mouse already supports touch gestures, but the rumored addition of voice commands could be a game-changing feature for this device.
Voice command feature raises questions
The rumored voice command feature for the new Magic Mouse has sparked debate. While using Siri on a Mac can be less convenient than on an iPhone, it's unclear how this feature would improve user experience. If implemented, the mouse would need to interpret voice commands and relay them to the Mac for execution. This process could potentially complicate rather than simplify user interactions with their device.
New Magic Mouse may launch with redesigned MacBook Pro
Leaker Yeux1122 also hints that the new Magic Mouse will be released in 2026, along with a revamped MacBook Pro. This is in line with earlier rumors of major changes arriving on the 2026 MacBook Pro model. However, it is worth noting that yeux1122's track record for accuracy is a mixed bag and these latest claims should be taken with a pinch of salt until confirmed by Apple.
