Apple Magic Trackpad (USB-C)

Overview

The Apple Magic Trackpad (USB-C), released in October 2024 alongside the M4 iMac, is the third-generation standalone trackpad from Apple featuring a USB-C port for charging and pairing, replacing the earlier Lightning connector. It retains the same wedge-shaped silver aluminum design as the second-generation model with a large glass Force Touch surface, providing precise cursor control and gesture navigation for macOS and iPadOS. With built-in Bluetooth 5.3, haptic feedback via the Taptic Engine, and a rechargeable battery lasting about one month, the Magic Trackpad (USB-C) offers a seamless, wireless input experience for creative professionals, productivity users, and anyone who prefers gesture-based navigation over a traditional mouse.

✨ Key Highlights

• Large glass Multi-Touch surface — 29% larger than the original Magic Trackpad with support for Multi-Touch gestures including swipe, pinch, zoom, rotate, and three-finger drag across macOS and iPadOS
• USB-C charging — replaces the earlier Lightning connector with a USB-C port for faster, universal charging; built-in rechargeable battery provides about one month of typical use on a single charge
• Seamless pairing and switching — instant Bluetooth connection with any Mac or iPad signed into the same Apple ID; supports automatic device switching between Apple devices logged into the same iCloud account
• Sleek wedge-shaped aluminum design — silver aluminum body with a glass top surface; available in White Multi-Touch Surface ($129) or Black Multi-Touch Surface ($149) finish
