I’m very happy that I’ll finally be able to use my Magic Mouse and trackpad with my iPad. I hope someone comes out with a similar keyboard/trackpad for non pro iPads, I’d be all over that.
Actually not. Still gonna be a dot.it will be an actual mouse cursor changing
Cool, but why not just a MacBook Air?So I've read through the webpage and watched the vids and I have to say the keyboard is a bit more than what I thought.
Think of it as a hub/dock, keyboard, trackpad, and stand.
Sure $350 for the 12.9" is STEEP, but I get to replace at least three items on my desk currently. And combined my stand ($99), hub ($50) and keyboard ($99 - $179 depending) aren't as versatile as what I'm seeing in the dock.
I am curious how this changes now in the GM.I'm currently running the 13.4 iPadOS Beta 5 on my 10.5" (2017) IPP and I'm not seeing any new support options to suggest that iPadOS now has "full mouse and trackpad support"... There's no traditional right click options like you would have in MacOS, just the ability to bind it to some other function in iOS such as long press. Only difference I can tell is that the circular cursor size can be made slightly smaller, and the setting is still buried in Accessibility features.
And I seem to have missed the part about backlit keys .... so yeah ... $350 is actually kind of worth it.
Final Cut Express, Logic Express and Xcode Express! You read it here first...Not sure, but maybe some added trackpad actions like 2 fingers to scroll, pinch to zoom, etc.?

As well as other creator apps like Adobe suite, Logic Pro, etc. It's obvious that Apple's focusing on iPhones & iPads (that's where the money's at), so why not just put everything they need to create for iPad there?
Because of some $0.20 backlight LEDs? You serious?
Finally some true mouse support, took them enough time!
£349 for a keyboard, which, when folded has the keys and their grime against the display, rubbing the display in your bag, marking the screen. Nope.

Like a laptop?
Like every laptop?
Although, I don't think you can (or haven't seen) the new keyboard folded backwards.

Wow! $349 plus tax For a keyboard. I guessed $270. That’s almost the price of an entry level iPad. Insane what Apple can changer. That much and I’ll end up buying it. I guess that’s why Apple can keep doing it.

Wait, at that price is the outside material different? Cause the current material isn’t worth $349. It feels good but doesn’t hold up to real world full time use. Apple care for keyboard?
$350 keyboard that doesn’t even have shortcut/function keys?
Pretty damn expensive for a keyboard. I wonder how sturdy that hinge is... I just imagine that thing flopping around.
