New Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro Now Available to Order, Deliveries Begin Next Week

[MacRumors]

Apple today announced that its new Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro is now available to order on Apple.com and begins arriving to customers next week. Apple previously said the Magic Keyboard would be available in May, so this news comes as a surprise.

This is the accessory that Apple previously revealed last month, alongside the launch of the new 2020 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models. The Magic Keyboard attaches to the iPad Pro magnetically, providing a "floating" cantilevered design for smooth adjustments of the viewing angle up to 130 degrees.

The keyboard itself is full-sized with backlit keys and a scissor mechanism that delivers 1mm travel. There's also a trackpad, which works with iPadOS 13.4 and its new feature that supports both trackpads and mice.

In terms of charging, the Magic Keyboard supports pass through USB-C charging, and when the Magic Keyboard is closed, the iPad Pro microphones are disconnected, preventing any audio data from being compromised.

Although it's being sold alongside the 2020 iPad Pro, the new Magic Keyboard is compatible with the previous-generation 2018 iPad Pro models as well.

You can order the Magic Keyboard for the 11-inch iPad Pro for $299, and for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro for $349 on Apple.com. The accessory has layouts for over 30 languages, and it's available to order today.

Too expensive. Even for Apple.

 

[metalsiren]

[joeybuckets]

Too expensive, and i'm sure it will work like crap just like the old one

 

[rp2011]

Wow! Can’t wait for the reviews.
As impressive as it looks, I need more infor before I spend $350 on a keyboard. But it looks like a done deal for me.

 

[parfy]

Would really like one but cant justify £350 for a keyboard / cover

 

[hovscorpion12]

Still shows as unavailable

 

[profets]

Looking forward to this. But doesn't seem like its quite ready to order yet?

 

[metalsiren]

[anshuvorty]

It's weird. I can't add it to the cart either....

 

[adamjackson]

Very Un-apple to have the store and newsroom not in sync.

 

[AppleFan1179]

Won't add to bag just yet. Pricing page for iPhone SE won't load either. They are still updating the site I guess. They haven't really got the hang of working from home yet I guess.

 

[metalsiren]

yea add to bag and then it pukes

 

[tothemoonsands]

Currently it’s available to order via Apple Glasses only...don’t have Apple Glasses, well....

Can't add to cart yet. But it says it will be delivered on Apr 21 - Apr 23, so that's a good sign.

[fokmik]

It's weird. I can't add it to the cart either....

its working here...try again

 

[Demultiplex_Dfunc]

Does anyone know If the keyboard can charge the iPad while it is on it? Currently it is the opposite, but I would love to just plug the USB C into the keyboard as that.

Please ignore. A simple Google search says yes. Yay!

 

[kylelerner]

Was just now able to buy and add to cart.

 

[Mr. Dee]

Apple is just trolling those 1,200 dollar checks like nobodies business! 😄

It says "unavailable" when I try to add it to the cart. Perhaps they jumped the gun.
Update: I was just able to order it now.
PSA: If you have a corporate discount through the Apple EPP store, it applies to the Magic Keyboard. Not a big discount, but at least it covered the sales tax for me.

 

[cmaier]

Got my order in for the big model. Looking forward to seeing how well it works on laps.

Says unavailable but was able to add to cart and order.
