Apple Magic Accessories Now Feature USB-C Ports

Apple has made a significant adjustment to its renowned Magic accessories, including the Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse, and Magic Trackpad. These accessories now boast USB-C ports, reflecting a growing trend towards universal connectivity. This update applies to the Magic accessories bundled with the new iMac powered by the M4 chip.

New iMac M4: Pre-orders Open

Apple opened pre-orders for the new iMac M4 on Monday, October 28th, 2024. Shipments are expected to begin on November 8th. Following the footsteps of its predecessors, the iMac M1 and iMac M3, this latest model offers a captivating array of seven vibrant colors. As with previous versions, the iMac comes equipped with color-matched accessories, providing a cohesive aesthetic. Buyers have the choice between a standard Magic Keyboard or an enhanced version equipped with a Touch ID sensor and numeric keypad for an extra $80.

USB-C Adoption and Accessory Options

For an additional $50, users can opt for the Magic Trackpad, available in colors matching the chosen iMac. However, choosing both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad simultaneously appears to be unavailable at this time. These new accessories are equipped with USB-C ports instead of the Lightning ports found on the iMac M1, aligning with the European Union's mandate for universal charging ports on consumer electronics by 2024.

Price and Availability

The iMac M4 comes with a color-matched power cable and a USB-C to USB-C cable for charging accessories. Notably, buying the accessories separately isn't an option, so buyers must acquire them at the time of purchase. The new Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and numeric keypad carries a price tag of $199, while the Magic Trackpad is priced at $149. The Magic Mouse can be purchased for $100. These updated accessories are slated to begin shipping on October 31st.
