Description

The second-generation Magic Trackpad 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]

The second-generation Magic Trackpad has been released in a variety of colors. A space gray color was introduced with the iMac Pro in 2017, alongside a color-matching Magic Keyboard; both were later made available as standalone purchases.[7] iPadOS 13.4 introduced mouse support to iPads for the first time, and supports all functionality of the second-generation Magic Trackpad.

Six pastel models (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple) were introduced in 2021 to match the colors of the M1 iMac. Additionally, standalone purchases now include a USB-C to Lightning cable, instead of USB-A. In 2022 the space gray color was replaced by a black-and-silver version which was previously only available bundled with the third-generation Mac Pro.[8]
