Apple is dropping the Lightning connector on its accessories

In addition to Apple upgrading its Imac with a sharper M4 circuit, the company has taken the opportunity to update its peripherals in the Magic series, where the big news is longer battery life and a USB-C connector, making them more compatible with other Apple devices. .

With the new Magic Mouse, Magic Keyboard, and Magic Trackpad, Apple has ditched the Lightning connector in favor of the more versatile USB-C. Functionally, the devices offer similar functionality as before, with the mouse and trackpad supporting swipes and gestures, while the keyboard has buttons for both letters and numbers. Apple provides details on battery life, but the devices should be able to run for up to a month on a single charge.

Form before function

The Magic Mouse has been criticized since the mouse's debut in 2009 because it cannot be used while charging due to the charging port being located on the underside of the mouse. However, this means that the entire mouse has a uniform and luxurious casing. One way to avoid this is to purchase an additional Magic Mouse, so that one can be used while the other is charging. Or buy a mouse with a charging connector on the front. However, the criticisms can be considered exaggerated, as the mouse still loads very quickly.

All the magical new accessories can be had now at Apple and all devices are available in black and white. The keyboard costs 2,795 SEK, the mouse 1,395 SEK, and the touchpad 1,995 SEK.
