Apple updated its Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad product pages around August 25 to drop all Intel-based Macs from the compatibility lists for the accessories. This week, Apple also updated related tech specs pages to reflect these changes. Given the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad still work with Intel Macs, it is unclear why the accessories are now considered to be compatible with Apple silicon Macs only.
Apple has yet to respond to requests for comment. The change appears on product pages for the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad, which previously listed support for both Intel-based and Apple silicon Macs. The tech specs pages now reflect the updated compatibility information, removing references to older Mac models.
This update comes as Apple continues its transition toward Apple silicon across its product lineup. The Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad remain functional with Intel-based machines, but the official compatibility lists have been adjusted to reflect Apple silicon-only support. Apple has not provided an explanation for the change or responded to media inquiries regarding the update.
