If you’re looking for an updated Magic Keyboard for your iPad, it’s being developed as we speak.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple’s suppliers are said to be developing a new keyboard for the iPad that will launch next year. The accessory is said to be designed for the entry-level iPad or the iPad Air, rather than the iPad Pro. Although it will lack an aluminum top case like the new Magic Keyboard for the M4 iPad Pro, it may feature a function row. The updated peripheral should be released by the middle of 2025.
Earlier this year, Apple debuted a completely redesigned high-end Magic Keyboard accessory for the iPad Pro, complete with an aluminum top case, a function row, and a larger trackpad. Apple continues to sell the previous generation Magic Keyboard for the iPad Air and the Magic Keyboard Folio for the 10th-generation iPad.
Given that a keyboard tends to be the make-or-break accessory for an iPad, it’ll be interesting to see what comes of this.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
