The Magic Keyboard: new iPad

Notably, the iPad's keyboard is prone to twisting and shredding over time. The Magic Keyboard will be structurally strong and have a luxury feel. According to the source, the external layer of the keyboard, like the existing ones, would have a rubber finish for more outstanding grip.

Even though Apple is employing different materials, the device's weight is projected to stay the same as the current models. However, the new metal is expensive, which could significantly increase prices. According to Gurman, the weight savings from switching to aluminium will be negligible. If Apple chooses to use more costly materials, the item's price may rise. Currently, the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 11-inch costs Rs. 29,999, while the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 12.9-inch costs Rs. 33,900.

This time around, the bezels may be thinner. It is projected to be lower in weight and to come in new colour variations. Like the impending iPhone 15, the iPad is expected to have a Type-C charging connection.
