Apple working on new Magic Keyboard for entry-level iPads
Apple is reportedly developing a new version of its Magic Keyboard, specifically designed for the entry-level iPad and iPad Air. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the tech giant's suppliers are currently working on this project. The launch of this new keyboard accessory is expected to take place next year. Unlike the Magic Keyboard designed for the M4 iPad Pro, this upcoming model will not feature an aluminum top case.
New keyboard may feature a function row
The entry-level Magic Keyboard for the iPad and iPad Air is expected to include a function row, a feature not present in the current model. This information was revealed by Gurman in his latest Power On newsletter. He also stated that the new accessory should be available by mid-2025, providing users with an enhanced typing experience on their iPads.
Apple's previous keyboard iterations
Earlier this year, Apple introduced a completely redesigned Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro. This model has an aluminum top case, a function row, and an enlarged trackpad. Despite the launch of this new design, Apple continues to offer the previous generation Magic Keyboard for the iPad Air and the Magic Keyboard Folio for the 10th-gen iPad.
