Apple today announced the refreshed iPad Pro family with new cameras, a LiDAR scanner and more, along with the new Magic Keyboard with a built-in trackpad and backlit keys with 1mm travel, designed specifically for the new tablet. To show off what you can do with such a combo, the Cupertino firm shared a pair of promotional videos via its official YouTube channel.
Although iPadOS 13.4 is currently in testing, Apple acknowledged today that the free software update would become available for public consumption next Tuesday, March 24.
In announcing the refreshed iPad Pro models earlier this morning, Apple acknowledged that its new Magic Keyboard with a built-in trackpad designed for the iPad Pro will be available for purchase in May, priced at $299 for the 11-inch iPad Pro and $349 for the 12.9-inch tablet.
Apple today refreshed its flagship iPad Pro models, bringing even more pro features such as a two-lens rear setup that includes wide and ultra-wide cameras and, for the first time in any Apple device, a sophisticated LiDAR sensor that can map your surroundings in 3D. The company also unveiled a new Magic Keyboard accessory designed specifically for this new iPad Pro that features a floating design, backlit keys and a built-in trackpad which lets you perform Multi-Touch gestures to navigate the entire tablet without ever lifting your hand.
Apple today refreshed its MacBook Air notebook line with several hardware improvements, such as two times faster CPU performance and 80 percent faster graphics than the previous generation, in addition to double the storage and the reliable scissor mechanism keyboard that previously launched on the 16-inch MacBook Pro. Most importantly, the popular notebook now has a lower price of $999 while education customers can get it for $899.
You are reading iDownloadBlog. We are a community of Apple lovers. More importantly, we are a group of hacker, modders, and jailbreakers. We don’t accept the status quo. We want things our way.
That means, it's got to be custom, tweaked, or different. This same passion caused me to reach out to ColorWare. The folks over at ColorWare agree—stock is boring. Their online mod shop allows you to order hardware that they customize in their own facility. They sent me some of their work and it’s stunning.
Hungarian 3D artist and industrial design student Viktor Kádár has taken it upon himself to envision what Apple's next-generation Mac mini computer might look like in Space Gray and hooked up to an external Apple Display and a Magic Keyboard that sports a Touch Bar.
Apple's Magic trackpad, keyboard and mouse can now be had in Space Gray standalone.
If you fell in love with Apple's stunning new dark gray finish for its wireless mouse, keyboard and trackpad, you're definitely not alone as we think they're badass, too..
Apple has long offered a wireless keyboard. Most recently refreshing them last year to include Lightning ports alongside a new Magic Trackpad and Magic Mouse. Apple's packed keynote kicking off WWDC 2017 understandably didn't have time to touch on a welcomed addition to their peripheral lineup.
With less than a week until Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, French outlet Consomac has discovered (Google Translate) a Russian-language regulatory filing in the Eurasian Economic Commission database which identifies five unreleased Mac computers by their model number: A1289, A1347, A1418, A1419 and A1481.
As noted by MacRumors, these numbers differ from the AXX prefixes attributed to current MacBook models. The new model numbers are probably related to the upcoming 13 and 15-inch MacBook Pro updates. According to Bloomberg, Apple will refresh its Mac notebooks at WWDC next week with faster Intel chips and updated internal architecture.
Among the Mac notebooks said to be up for a refresh could be Apple's popular MacBook Air, which hasn't seen a major design change since its 2010 introduction.
The filing also identifies some spare parts for the Macs along with a next-generation Apple wireless keyboard (model number A1843) and four numbers classified under iOS 10 (A1671, A1709, A1670 and A1701) that probably refer to the Wi-Fi and cellular editions of the upcoming iPad Pro models, including the rumored new 10.5-inch model.
An exciting story yesterday, based on a sketchy Reddit report, alleged Apple could use dynamic keyboard technology from Australian startup Sonder, part of Foxconn’s International Holding’s Incubator program. It would presumably permit the Cupertino company to engineer a keyboard with a tiny e-ink display on each key so that the layout could change depending on the app being used.
British newspaper The Guardian confirmed that discussions between members of Apple’s boss Tim Cook and representatives from Sonder Keyboard indeed took place.
