Apple launched a new Magic Mouse, and yes, it still charges from the bottom

Weirdest design decision ever, repeated.

Apple launched a fancy, new Mac Studio desktop computer and Studio Display yesterday, but the company also launched a couple of new accessories to match the new devices.

Apple's sleek Magic Mouse is now available in a black-silver combo, together with the Magic Trackpad and Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keyboard, which are now also available in a similar black-silver combination.

It's worth noting that the Mac Studio isn't available in black, only silver. But the new Studio Display has black bezels (and a silver stand) so...we guess you have to like both silver and black to match all these together?

Finally, black accessories to match your new Mac Studio, which isn't available in black.

Functionally, these devices seem to be the same as the old, white versions. You could buy some black/silver accessories together with the Mac Pro, but they weren't available on their own until now.

Unfortunately, this also means that the Magic Mouse still has a USB-C charging port at the bottom, meaning you cannot use the mouse while charging it.

Hello, bottom charger. We still don't like you.

Granted, this doesn't happen very often — Apple says the battery lasts for about a month between charges — but it's still a clumsy design decision that feels very un-Apple like.

The prices for the trio are as follows: US$99 for the Magic Mouse, US$149 for the Magic Trackpad, and US$199 for the Magic Keyboard. Yes, they all cost US$20 more than the white versions. You can order them all now from Apple Store.
