It’s been claimed Apple is working on a new, more affordable Magic Keyboard for its entry-level iPad and iPad Air models.

The claim comes from Mark Gurman at Bloomberg and follows the launch of the new Magic Keyboard in May, designed exclusively for the iPad Pro.

Appleannounced twonew iPadsearlier this year in the form of theiPad Prothat has been the first Apple device to use the Apple Silicon M4 chip, and theiPad Air, which runs on the M2 chip and came in a new 13-inch model.

Gurman added that it would be “a low-end version that may be designed for an entry-level iPad or the new iPad Airs” and that it would “lack pricier components like the metal palm rest, but will have some new features – perhaps including a function row”.

That’s quite an interesting timeframe however, as Apple is rumoured to be updating both itsiPad miniand theiPad (10th generation)before the year is out. Given the latest redesigned Magic Keyboard arrived alongside the iPad Pro (M4) it was designed for, you might have thought the more affordable version would arrive alongside its respective iPad counterpart too.

Still, it will likely be worth the wait even if we do have to wait a few extra months after the new entry-level iPad arrives. Hopefully in that time it might lose a few pounds and launch a little lighter than the current Magic Keyboard Folio offering too.
