Mobee Magic Charger averts battery crisis for Apple mouse

Apple has been ahead of the game for years when it comes to making the most sleek, aesthetically-appealing laptops and desktops. The chic aluminum iMac’s are now paired with an extremely thin wireless keyboard and shiny white mouse. Sounds great, right? While universally loved for the aforementioned sleek look, the keyboard and mouse come with one pesky problem: batteries. Having wireless desktop accessories is great, however, having to replace the batteries that keep them running is not great. We wrote about the Mobee Magic Bar before, which takes care of the keyboard/battery problem, but now Mobee has come up with a similar solution for your pretty little mouse.

The Mobee Magic Charger ($50) attempts to solve the battery problem for the Apple mouse with an equally-slick wireless charging station. Rest your mouse in the slim charging station and inductive charging technology will make your mouse good to go for 6 whole days of ‘normal use.’ The charger, which is USB powered but will operate wirelessly once charged, is a convenient (and not to mention environmentally-friendly) alternative to keeping a pack of AA batteries in your desk. Having a Mobee Magic Bar and a Mobee Magic Charger for our Apple accessories would certainly make our lives a little easier.

Apple just dashed our iMac hopes and dreams

Apple has confirmed it has no plans to release a 27-inch iMac in the immediate future. The news comes on the same day that reviews for Apple's 24-inch iMac M3 and MacBook Pro M3 went live, with the company urging pro users who had been waiting for a 27-inch iMac update to go with a Mac Studio or Mac Pro instead.

An Apple representative confirmed that a 27-inch iMac with Apple silicon won't be arriving soon to The Verge. Apple last updated the 27-inch iMac in 2020, just a few months before Apple silicon was released to the world. It never saw Apple Silicon, instead being stuck on older Intel chips. Apple discontinued the product in 2021, eventually delisting it the next year.

The M3 is the most important chip Apple has ever made
Apple's M3 chip family.

Macs with Apple silicon were a revelation when they launched three years ago, but we haven't seen Apple demonstrate how it will carry that idea forward since then. We saw the M2 release and the middling performance improvements that came with it, but the M3, announced during Apple's "Scary Fast" event, is the most important chip Apple has ever designed for Macs.

Although it carries the branding of the third generation of Apple silicon, it's really the second true generation. There's a lot riding on this release for Apple to prove that it can sustain its own silicon in Macs, and M3 is arriving at a time when there's fierce competition on all sides.
