Apple Releases New Firmware for 140W USB-C Power Adapter, Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad

What's next, firmware updates for cables?

They exist.

 

[Biro]

Do these updates require your Mac to be on OS 26? My Magic Keyboard that paired with my M2 Max Mac Stuido is still on firmware 2.0.6. But I’m still on OS 15.7.2.

My power adapter is finally updated!

I feel clean!

 

[yukari]

Mine said it was 2.0.6. Then I connected the lightening cable from M4 mini to the magic keyboard and now it says:

???

 

[TVreporter]

What about us folks with lightning? Tim I’m not buying new anytime soon!

My MacBook was connected to the power adapter, then suddenly no more power for a few second, then the power came, my external display was still on, and I was like what the f***, then saw this post, check the adapter firmware, and figured, the momentary power lost was the restart after update routine.

I lost 7% of my battery during the macOS 26.0 beta era, hope this update will help with that. I mean if that's how it work. I was actually at 90% left, then with calibration came back to 93%.

My Magic Keyboard (with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad) updated to 4.1.0 when I connected it to my Mac mini to charge it.

Mine is Lightning and did not update, so I presume the update is only for USB-C models.

Does data pass the magnet charger to update the power brick? so need to connect by usb-c?

I spoke too soon. It updated again after a few minutes to 5.2.0.

So it looks like people’s firmware versions are all over the place. They are also all meaningless, as we have no idea what any firmware version actually contains.

If I was prone to fomo this could be a time. I have the newest USB-C versions of both and still on 3.1.4. Plugging them in has made no difference. I did that minutes after the article was released.

Firmware updates for keyboards, power adapters, and trackpads are automatically installed when the accessory is actively paired to a device running iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, or visionOS.

Are 3rd party cables eligible for power adapter firmware updates? 😆

yep

I'm assuming this doesn't apply to magic keyboards with a Lightning connector? Would love to have an update that prevents my fingerprint sensor from not working from time to time and requires a full reset.

Did you plug the keyboard into a Mac rather than a charger? Mine went from 3.1.4 to 4.1.0 as soon as I did.

This Tim’s swan song?

How can I verify that my keyboard and trackpad have been updated?

How can I verify that my keyboard and trackpad have been updated?

Ask Siri to confirm.

Ask Siri to confirm.

Siri just gave me Google search results. Fail!
