Apple reportedly plans to release an updated Magic Keyboard for new 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Air models at some point “early next year.” bloombergI’m Mark Garman.
The new Magic Keyboard for iPad Air will adopt “some” of the new features added to the latest Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro released in May. That means accessories for the next iPad Air version could include a thinner, lighter design with an aluminum palm rest, a larger glass trackpad, and a row of function keys with shortcuts for things like display brightness and volume. It means something.
Below is an excerpt from his report earlier this month.
The new iPad Air models (codenamed J607 and J637) will focus on internal improvements. Apple is also preparing updated versions of its Magic Keyboard accessory, codenamed R307 and R308, for both the 11-inch and 13-inch versions of the new Air. These reduce the market price of some of the features of the iPad Pro keyboard.
Apple released the current iPad Air model equipped with the M2 chip in May.
