Imac Pro Keyboard

Apple unveiled on Tuesday in its Spring Loaded event the fifth-generation iPad Pro alongside a new white Magic Keyboard. While the accessory for the 11-inch model is already available, Apple postponed the sale for the 12.9-inch model.

2 days ago  Buyers of the new 2021 12.9-inch iPad Pro will not be able to use the previous model's Magic Keyboard. As noted by AppleInsider after the new iPad Pro launch, Apple. 1 day ago  That's especially apparent this week, as it's been revealed that the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro won't work with the Magic Keyboard Apple made for its predecessor just one year ago. A California judge has certified a class-action lawsuit against Apple for the damage-prone butterfly keyboard design included in MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro models manufactured between.

Aluminum USB Wired Keyboard with Numeric Keypad for Apple Mac Pro, Mini Mac, iMac, iMac Pro, MacBook Pro/Air. 4.4 out of 5 stars. Apple Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse 2, Magic Trackpad 2. Tech21 13' Evo Clear Case for MacBook Pro 2020. $89.95 Native Union Stow Slim Sleeve for 13' MacBook Air.

According to the French site iGeneration, the fifth-generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro needs a new Magic Keyboard, so anyone who has bought an older version hoping to use it with the new model will have to buy a new accessory.

While the 2021 12.9-inch iPad Pro is broadly similar to the 2018 and 2020 models, the new tablet stands out on one point: it’s thicker, at precisely 0.5mm. It might not sound like much, but it’s enough for Apple to adjust its Magic Keyboard, the iPad Pro’s dedicated trackpad keyboard. And according to the documentation provided to the Apple Stores that we have been able to consult, the old Magic Keyboard is not compatible with the large iPad Pros of 2021.

On the other hand, as Apple’s website points, this new Magic Keyboard is compatible with the third- and fourth-generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro.

This new model is 0.5mm thicker because it has a new Liquid Retina XDR display that uses mini-LED technology. This panel uses 10,000 mini-LEDs, which provides much greater control of localized backlighting, allowing higher brightness and deeper blacks. The combination boosts the contrast ratio, as well as using less power.

As pointed by iGeneration:

“The problem is, once closed, the Magic Keyboard grips the tablet pretty tight. Apple has not left a millimeter of leeway, because the accessory must hold the iPad in place and prevent it from falling to the bottom of a bag or worse, on the asphalt if you move the set without other protection. But with that extra half a millimeter on the 2021 generation, maybe this very precise fit is a problem and the device had to be redesigned.“

The same doesn’t apply to the 11-inch model, as it has the same size and weight as the previous model. The new Magic Keyboard starts at $299 for the 11-inch model and $349 for the 12.9-inch version.

The fifth-generation iPad Pro introduced the M1 chip on Apple’s tablet, with up to 50% faster performance, a new Thunderbolt port, and 5G support. Pre-orders start next week and the iPad will be available in the second half of May.

Now that the Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR are officially available to order, Apple has confirmed that the new color variant of the Magic Keyboard, Mouse, and Trackpad will only come with the new pro machine for now. And the same goes for Apple’s first black USB-C to Lightning cable.

Back at WWDC when the Mac Pro was first unveiled, Apple showed off the new black and silver Magic Keyboard, Mouse, and Trackpad. However, it went under the radar with it looking similar to the space gray variants, especially in low light.

One interesting tidbit as discovered in image assets by Steve Troughton-Smith is that it looked like Apple would offer a black and silver Magic Keyboard without numpad for the Mac Pro.

However, at the time of writing, Apple only shows the black and silver Magic Keyboard with number keypad as coming with the Mac Pro, with no option for a keyboard without the numpad.

Further, Apple highlights that the black and silver Magic Trackpad is only available with the purchase of a Mac Pro. And the Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse are also not available to purchase as standalone accessories.

Time will tell if this will create silly aftermarket prices of the new Magic accessories’ black and silver color on sites like eBay. That’s what we saw with the iMac Pro launch and the exclusive (for a time) space gray Magic Keyboard, Trackpad, and Mouse.

The Mac Pro also appears to include Apple’s first black USB-C to Lightning cable in the box.

For what it’s worth, the space gray accessories became available on their own about three months after the iMac Pro first launched.
