Apple is developing a more affordable Magic Keyboard for iPad(0)

Apple is working on a new low-end Magic Keyboard accessory for the iPad, reports Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

In the latest "Power On" newsletter, Gurman said that Apple's suppliers are developing a new keyboard for the ‌iPad‌ that is scheduled to launch next year. The accessory is said to be designed for the entry-level ‌iPad‌ or the iPad Air, rather than the iPad Pro.While it doesn't have an aluminum top case like the M4 iPad Pro's new Wonder Control Keyboard, it may have a feature row. It should be released in mid-2025.

Earlier this year, Apple debuted the newly redesigned Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro, featuring an aluminum top cover, feature rows, and a larger trackpad. Apple continues to sell the previous-generation Magic Keyboard for the iPad Air, as well as the Magic Keyboard Folio for the 10th-generation iPad.
