New iPads Get Redesigned Magnets for More Smart Folio Viewing Angles

Apple has new Smart Folio cases for its latest M4 iPad Pro and M2 iPad Air models that boast a wider range of viewing angles, and thanks to Marques Brownlee, we now know how it's done.

With the help of some magnet paper, MKBHD reveals (https://x.com/MKBHD/status/1790718481102434503) that Apple has added bigger, more cubic magnets to the M4 iPad Pro that align with a new longer rail of stripe magnets in the Folio Case, thereby achieving a wider range of viewing angle adjustment.



The magnet paper also reveals that, because of how thin the new iPad Pro is compared to the previous generation model, Apple has had to use flatter, more circular speaker drivers, which appear to be closer to the top of the device.



Apple is selling the new Smart Folio for the 11-inch iPad Pro (https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MW993ZM/A/smart-folio-for-ipad-pro-11-inch-m4-denim) in Denim, Black, and White. There's also a Smart Folio for the 13-inch iPad Pro (https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MWK33ZM/A/smart-folio-for-ipad-pro-13-inch-m4-black) in the same color options.
