As we’ve expected for the last few weeks, Apple announced new versions of the iPad Pro and MacBook Air via press releases this morning. Looking at Apple’s announcement, the most exciting element came in the form of a software update and hardware accessory refresh.
Apple today also introduced the new Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro. With a floating design with smooth angle adjustment, a backlit keyboard and trackpad, the Magic Keyboard delivers the best typing experience ever on iPad. The Magic Keyboard will be available for purchase in May.
I absolutely adore the keyboard/trackpad combination, and even though the $299 and $349 price for the 11 and 12.9-inch models, respectively, are a bit high, I am lusting already.
As for the MacBook Air, I’m glad to see the failed butterfly keyboard leave another Mac, but I won’t be tempted to get a new machine until a 13-inch model of the new MacBook Pro is available.
