Apple plans to Magic Mouse and Wireless Keyboard with Bluetooth 4.0 LE

The Magic Mouse and Wireless Keyboard are now real veterans in Apple's range and were long gone revised. Technological progress has gone past them and so they are still working with Bluetooth 2.1. This will cost an unnecessary amount of electricity. But now things are changing. In the US Food and Drug Administration new peripheral devices have been logged that work with Bluetooth 4.0.

New Apple peripherals have surfaced the lists of US regulatory authority FCC (Federal Communications Commission), because sparking devices must there only be tested and approved before they are allowed onto the market. The registered devices include a mouse and a keyboard. The Apple Wireless Keyboard has not been changed since 2011 and the mouse, which is also known as the Magic Mouse is built unchanged since 2009. It's time that something is happening after Bluetooth 4.0 is a long time in the market and still have over the two input devices Bluetooth 2.1.

The new models are Bluetooth 4.2 LE dominate with Low Energy. The mouse and keyboard are likely due to the lower energy requirements to run significantly longer for Bluetooth LE than the previous models. However, it seems to be changing a bit. Instead of relying on AA or AAA batteries, Apple seems this time batteries installed fixed, which can be recharged via a cable.


Whether this is the user brings something or rather perceived as a hindrance, it is too early to judge effectiveness. On the one hand we are glad that the keyboard can be equipped with two AA batteries and is currently virtually anywhere replacement is to get on the other hand you need a separate battery charger to charge the power storage again. In future maybe enough the iPad / iPhone USB power adapter. When the two input devices to hit the market, can be calculated from the test protocols for the mouse and the keyboard, of course, do not recognize. These are pre-production models, it says. Conceivable would be a publication for Apple Fall Event in September.
