New Apple Patent Related to Force Touch and Magic Mouse

The Cupertino company continues to want patents and this is something that may or may not give clues to future new products. Whenever we have a patent on the table, we talk about the possibility that Apple simply leaves it parked in a corner waiting for their turn to come up with a product or simply for another manufacturer to have to go through the checkout to use it. This time we are talking about the Magic Mouse and the possibility that it adds Force Touch technology.

When we talk about the Force Touch, it should be noted that the guys from Cupertino released it on the MacBook and then it was used on the Apple Watch. A few months later it came to the iPhone and several Chinese companies used the same Force Touch technology for their smartphones and this seems to be that it forced Apple to change the name to 3D Touch (in addition to implementing improvements) in the iPhone.

Now a patent shows the possibility of adding Force Touch in Magic Mice. Remember that the new current Magic Trackpads add it but the Magic Mouse 2 does not. This improves the user experience in OS X even though it can get more out of it, but it can certainly be interesting to have it available on the mouse.

Personally I always recommend the Magic Trackpad to all those who ask me what to choose when buying a Mac, but although it is a matter of taste, users who have the Magic Trackpad have the added function of Force Touch (the new model) and also when you do with the use and gestures of the Trackpad, you do not want to touch the mouse again.
