  • New Apple aluminum Magic Keyboard introduces backlit keys & function bar

    I feel very confused about the title. It's not an aluminum keyboard. It has an aluminum palm rest and hinge. The title also says "introduces backlit keys" when the original Magic Keyboard also has backlit keys. As far as I can tell, the only things that seem to be different are the aluminum palm rest, function bar, and larger trackpad. I'll have to wait and see when I get it, but I don't think it's substantially different.

    It was nice that for a hot minute Apple used the same accessories for iPad air and iPad pro so you could upgrade and NOT have to buy all new.  Guess that wasn't profitable enough for them.
    That's a confusing comment. There is no choice with the Magic Keyboard for example because the camera orientation flipped from portrait to landscape. It has nothing to do with profits. They change the design to make the product better, not to sell more accessories. When I switched from the first generation Pro to the second generation Pro, I kept the same Magic Keyboard even though it wasn't a perfect fit, and I still use the same original Magic Keyboard to this day. I'm not at all mad that I need to purchase a new one because the changes are so dramatic and better. I was upset when they went from the first to the second generation because $350 is a lot of money and it was the very next year. The first generation keyboard wasn't a perfect fit because the second generation Pro was just a little bit thicker, but I decided it was close enough to not matter. I don't really understand all of the Conspiracy Theory stuff.
    Edit for spelling error
    Edit: When I'm talking about the different generations, I really mean the first generation that worked with the Magic Keyboard. I actually bought the Magic Keyboard for the 4th generation iPad Pro and it was the 5th generation iPad Pro that increased in thickness with a revised Magic Keyboard. I kept the original Magic Keyboard even though it wasn't a perfect fit for the 5th generation iPad Pro.

  • Apple's new iPad Pro gets M4 power, advanced Tandem OLED screens

    I just ordered one at close to the base price for the 13" model with my trade-in but including Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard. I would have upgraded to Nano Glass and 16GB of RAM if I could have gotten both for a total of $200 more. $700 more is too much. I don't need an extra core or an extra 744GB of storage.

    All I have to say about it is that it’s got a pretty cool code-name.

  • New HomePod part leak shows off glossy display cover

    This would not be helpful to me as described because my HomePods are on a shelf over my head. I would prefer a screen in the front.
