Apple introduced a brand new Mac and monitor at its Peek Performance occasion, however let’s discuss what we had been all actually hoping for in our coronary heart of hearts: a black version of the Magic Trackpad. Please maintain your applause, and let the darkness devour you.

It’s been a second for the reason that firm has offered a darkish model of the trackpad individually. The house gray (which was decidedly lighter than the model on Apple’s retailer now) model was discontinued early final yr. The black and silver model was out there — in case you purchased a Mac Pro. In reality, the Mac Pro product page nonetheless says that the “matching trackpad can only be purchased with your Mac Pro” at time of writing. But no one would do this simply to get a black trackpad. (Please don’t inform me you’d or, worse, have. I can not mentally deal with it.)

While Apple has decoupled the black trackpad from the $6,000 Mac Pro, you’ll nonetheless must pay a worth premium for the aesthetic, as with the house gray trackpad earlier than it. The silver Magic Trackpad prices $129, whereas the black model prices $149. Is that the worst manner you could possibly give Apple $20? Absolutely not — I’m positive all of us do not forget that the $19 cleansing material exists. (Actually, you could wish to choose a type of up in case you’re getting a nano-texture Studio Display. It comes with one, however it will possibly’t harm to have extras, proper?)

The Magic Mouse can be available in the cool black and silver look, too, additionally for a $20 premium over the white model. Unfortunately, you continue to can’t get the colourful variations that include the M1 iMacs. That’s not essentially the most upsetting factor concerning the mouse, although — that (dis)honor belongs to the truth that you continue to must flip it the wrong way up to cost it.
