Magic Mouse’s rumored voice commands make no sense to me
I'm a longtime MacBook user, and I've never felt the need to buy a Magic Mouse from Apple. It has nothing to do with that awkwardly positioned Lightning (now USB-C) port on the bottom. And, by the way, yes, it's an annoying design decision, but the outrage is blown out of proportion here.
I'm perfectly happy with the trackpad and use it in ways I could have never done on a Windows PC before I moved away from Windows. The only time I got a mouse was when I tried to play games on the Mac. The Magic Mouse wasn't an option.
I know plenty of people, especially professionals, working with specific workflows that need a lot more precision than the trackpad can offer. The Magic Mouse is for those buyers. They're probably excited to get their hands on the next-gen Magic Mouse, which should be released in 2026 and feature a novel design and a fix for that charging port.
What's strange about the Magic Mouse is a rumor that claims the wireless gadget will feature support for voice commands. Yes, we're heading into an AI-first computing era, where voice controls and AI agents will help you manage your computer like never before. By the time the Magic Mouse launches, Apple Intelligence will probably get more agentic features, matching ChatGPT and Gemini.
But why would one talk to the mouse instead of the computer or a nearby mobile device?
