The Magic Trackpad 2 is a multi-touch and Force Touch trackpad produced by Apple Inc. Announced on October 13, 2015 alongside the Magic Keyboard and the Magic Mouse 2, the Magic Trackpad 2 is the successor to the first Magic Trackpad.

Description[]

The Magic Trackpad 2 is similar to its predecessor, with the key differences being a larger form factor,[2][3] rechargeable lithium-ion battery[4] and Force Touch. The trackpad also provides haptic feedback via Apple's built-in Taptic Engine that is also used in MacBook trackpads.[5] The Lightning connector is used for charging and pairing.[6]

In 2021, Apple released a new version just called the Magic Trackpad that comes with an updated braided USB-C to Lightning charging cable and has more rounded corners like the updated Magic Keyboard and Magic Keyboard with Touch ID. It also has a darker more gray surface than the previous version with a pure white surface.
