The Magic Trackpad 2 is a pointing device designed, manufactured, and currently sold by Apple since 2015 as part of the Apple Magic Trackpad series. The Mouse was introduced on October 13, 2015, alongside new iMacs, Magic Keyboard, and Magic Mouse 2.
Since its release, the Magic Trackpad 2 has been shipped alongside the Magic Keyboard with the iMacs Late 2015 and newer. It could also be purchased separately for $129.
The Magic Trackpad 2 is similar to its predecessor, with the key differences being a larger form factor, rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and Force Touch. The trackpad also provides haptic feedback via Apple’s built-in Taptic Engine which is the same in MacBook trackpads. The Lightning connector is used for charging and pairing. The trackpad is compatible with every Mac running OS X 10.11 El Capitan and higher.
On December 14, 2017, Apple introduced the new iMac Pro with a new color of Magic Trackpad 2 and Magic Keyboard, since then, the Magic Trackpad 2 became available as a standalone product in two color versions; Silver and Space Gray. However, on May 15, 2021, Magic Trackpad 2 in Space Gray color was discontinued and available until stock lasts.
On April 20, 2021, Apple announced an all-new iMac in 7 colors bundled with a matching Magic Trackpad or Magic Mouse. The new colors are Blue, Green, Pink, Yellow, Orange, and Purple.
On March 8, 2022, a new color of Magic Trackpad 2 was introduced in the Silver & Black option alongside the new Mac Studio and Studio Display. The new colored trackpad can be purchased separately for $149.
To this date, Magic Trackpad 2 is still available on the market although in the meantime one of the color options was discontinued. Today Magic Trackpad 2 is 8 years old!
