Apple could bring the iPad Pro’s Magic Keyboard to other iPad models, or at least that’s the suggestion of an increasingly reliable Twitter account L0vetodream.
The Magic Keyboard is available for Apple’s latest 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro. It’s also backwards compatible with both Apple’s 2018 iPad Pro models, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro (3rd generation) and the 11-inch iPad Pro (1st generation), but right now that’s it.
The leaker hasn’t named any iPad model, but Apple is reportedly working on a new iPad Air based on the 11-inch iPad Pro, which could be a candidate for a Magic Keyboard.
The fourth-generation iPad Air may have a USB-C port instead of a Lightning port, according to a report. Apple switched to USB-C for its iPad Pro models in 2018, but other iPads continued to feature a Lightning port for charging purposes.
Rumors earlier this year suggested that Apple was working on an 11-inch iPad Air, which could launch in the second half of 2020. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently said that Apple is working on an iPad from 10.8 inches, and while it doesn’t say it was an “Air” model, it does match other rumors about a new iPad Air.
An earlier rumor from L0vetodream indicated that the upcoming iPad Air may feature a mini LED display with a subscreen version of Touch ID instead of Face ID, but we have yet to hear the same from other sources.
in my dream Magic Keyboard not only for iPad Pro – 有 没有 搞 措 (@ L0vetodream) June 11, 2020
The Magic Keyboard magnetically attaches to iPad Pro and features a floating design that works on the lap or desk, and a built-in trackpad to control an on-screen pointer, allowing users to improve their workflows.
It features USB-C charging and cantilever hinges for smooth viewing angle adjustments up to 130 degrees, including a full-size keyboard with backlit keys and a sliding mechanism. scissors that offers a stroke of 1 mm.
When Apple unveiled new iPad Pro models and the Magic Keyboard with trackpad, Logitech also introduced keyboard cases with trackpads designed for the 10.2-inch 7th-generation iPad and 10.5-inch iPad Air. . If there is any substance to the latest rumor, they may soon have competition from Apple.
