Leaker Suggests iPad Pro Magic Keyboard Coming to More iPad Models

Apple could bring the iPad Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-pro/)'s Magic Keyboard to additional iPad (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/) models, or at least that's the suggestion from increasingly reliable Twitter account L0vetodream (https://twitter.com/L0vetodream).

The Magic Keyboard is available for Apple's latest 11-inch and the 12.9-inch ‌iPad Pro‌. It's also backwards compatible with both of Apple's 2018 ‌iPad Pro‌ models, the ‌‌iPad Pro‌‌ 12.9-inch (3rd generation) and the ‌‌iPad Pro‌‌ 11-inch (1st generation), but currently that's as far as it goes.





The leaker didn't name any ‌iPad‌ models, but Apple is rumored (https://www.macrumors.com/2020/06/02/ipad-air-usb-c-port/) to be working on a new ‌iPad‌ Air that's based on the 11-inch ‌iPad Pro‌, which could be a candidate to get a Magic Keyboard.





According to one report, the fourth-generation ‌iPad‌ Air may be equipped with a USB-C port (https://www.macrumors.com/2020/06/02/ipad-air-usb-c-port/) instead of a Lightning port. Apple transitioned to USB-C for its ‌iPad Pro‌ models in 2018, but other iPads have continued to feature a Lightning port for charging purposes.

Rumors earlier this year suggested that Apple is working on an 11-inch ‌&zwnj;iPad&zwnj;‌ Air, which could launch (https://www.macrumors.com/2020/04/21/23-inch-imac-11-inch-ipad-rumors/) in the second half of 2020. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/ming-chi-kuo/) recently said (https://www.macrumors.com/2020/05/14/kuo-apple-glasses-2022-new-ipads-2020/) that Apple is working on a 10.8-inch ‌&zwnj;iPad&zwnj;‌, and while he didn't say it was an "Air" model, it fits in with other rumors about a new ‌&zwnj;iPad&zwnj;‌ Air.





An earlier rumor from L0vetodream has indicated the upcoming &zwnj;iPad&zwnj; Air could feature a mini-LED display (https://www.macrumors.com/2020/04/20/apple-controller-12-inch-arm-macbook-rumors/) with an under-display version of Touch ID (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/touch-id/) instead of Face ID, but we've yet to hear the same from other sources.

The Magic Keyboard attaches magnetically to ‌&zwnj;iPad Pro&zwnj;‌ and includes a floating design that works on either a lap or a desk, and an integrated trackpad for controlling an onscreen pointer, which allows users to enhance their workflows.





It features USB-C pass-through charging and cantilevered hinges for smooth adjustments of the viewing angle up to 130 degrees, including a full-size keyboard with backlit keys and a scissor mechanism that delivers 1mm travel.





When Apple unveiled new &zwnj;iPad Pro&zwnj; models and the Magic Keyboard with trackpad, Logitech also introduced keyboard cases  (https://www.macrumors.com/2020/04/15/logitech-ipad-keyboard-cases-trackpad-available/)with trackpads designed for the 10.2-inch 7th-generation &zwnj;iPad&zwnj; and the 10.5-inch ‌&zwnj;iPad&zwnj;‌ Air. If there's any substance to the latest rumor, they could soon have some competition from Apple.<div class="linkback">Tags: Magic Keyboard (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/magic-keyboard/), L0vetodream (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/l0vetodream/)</div>
