According to whistleblower Mark Gurman, Apple may introduce AI voice control features in its next-generation Magic Mouse, a news that has attracted widespread public attention. Gurman emphasized that while the integration of AI technology has become a trend in hardware development, there is currently no solid evidence that the new Magic Mouse will support AI voice control.
In the latest official update of iOS 18.1 released by Apple, a new feature called "Apple Intelligence" has been added. However, domestic users and many non-English speakers are currently unable to experience this service. Reports suggest that Apple is in discussions with domestic companies, including Baidu, to introduce large AI models and enhance the AI experience on iPhones.
Gurman also mentioned that although the existing Magic Mouse has upgraded its charging port from Lightning to USB-C, the port is still located at the bottom of the mouse, which prevents users from using the mouse while charging. To address this user pain point, Gurman revealed that Apple is developing a new product that is both modern and capable of solving practical issues, including improvements to the charging port's location.
If the Magic Mouse does indeed incorporate AI voice control features, it would represent a significant upgrade for Apple in the smart accessory field, further solidifying its leading position in the application of AI technology. This also indicates that Apple will continue to explore the application of AI technology in everyday devices, providing users with a more intelligent and convenient operating experience.
