A new low-end iPad Magic Keyboard is in the works, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says in his latest “Power On” newsletter.
“In May, Apple rolled out a revamped Magic Keyboard, adding a metal palm rest, more durable design, larger trackpad and function keys,” he writes. “Now, I’m told that Apple suppliers are hard at work on a new iPad keyboard for next year. This accessory will be a low-end version that may be designed for an entry-level iPad or the new iPad Airs.”
Gurman says it told it will lack pricier components like the metal palm rest, but will have some new features — perhaps including a function row. He says that the product should be released by the middle of next year if all goes as planned.
