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

[Boppi]

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.

Nope just a charger, but a reboot seems to do it. Or it could've been just the timing of when it came and had nothing to do with the reboot, but I have the new fw, though it didn't improve my typing speed or accuracy one bit.

Updated now to 5.2.0.

Go to Settings/Bluetooth and click the little info (circled letter i) button to the right of the device.

Yikes. I am way behind. So much for it updating automatically. 🫤

As noted earlier in the thread, if you plug directly into a Mac that should invoke it immediately. For me it was a reboot, as I was only plugged into a charger, though the notes show they only need to be paired via BT for the update.

When I plug in a cable for my Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad, the displayed version immediately jumps to 4.1.0. When I unplug the cable, the version changes back to 3.1.4. Could the keyboard have multiple firmwares, for each connection type, ie, bluetooth vs. usb-c cable?

Looks like a lot of my accessories need updating. Surprised to see a firmware update just for the 140W power adapter.

Love it! My Magic Trackpad now has a fingerprint sensor in the upper-right-hand corner!

But what does it change? Truly curious about that

I remember the days where my power brick, keyboard, and trackpad didn't need firmware updates.

They couldn't be firmware updated, they didnt have firmware in the first, good old days.

My power adapter is bricked.

So call it power brick!

They did have firmware. But it could only be updated if you reprogrammed the chips directly, e.g. via JTAG or desoldering.

Wondering/hoping this will help fast charging on Android. I doubt it.
The 140W adapter works great for Apple devices but has only been able to charge Android devices up to 15W when my tablet can do 45W.

I use an Mac/iPhone but a Samsung tablet.

My keyboard is on v2.06..! Paired by BT and plugged in by USB. ☹️

Updated on mine to 3.1.9

My Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad that came with my iMac M3 has version 2.0.6 on BT, but 4.2.0 with lightning connected.
Am I uptodate? I'm lost ...

Safari feels snappier now.

Siri just gave me Google search results. Fail!

It was a joke.

Amazing! First FW update of a power adapter completed! Worked fine even still on Sequoia.

Mine is exactly the same as yours, BT and Lightning?

My Magic Trackpad is still at 3.1.1 !!

 

[mcewen98]

all the jokes aside, perhaps this will finally help with the horribly unstable Mac to Mac Universal Control keyboard/mouse sharing that many of us have had over the years?

 

[tomtad]

And yes that 140W adapter is a big boy

Nope, it still sucks.

The article states USB-C versions of these accessories, not the lightning ones.

You're right, my bad, sorry.
