How Apple Is Rewriting the iPad Pro Keyboard Rules
from Mac and Apple with Fexingo: macOS, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Ecosystem Conversations · host Fexingo
In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine Apple's evolving strategy for the iPad Pro keyboard, focusing on the transition from the Magic Keyboard to the upcoming Folio Touch with a built-in trackpad and function row. They discuss how Apple is listening to power-user complaints about weight, durability, and connectivity, and what the rumored changes mean for the future of the iPad as a laptop replacement. Specific numbers include the Magic Keyboard's 600 gram weight, the 40 percent reduction target for the new design, and the $349 price point that has driven users to third-party options like Logitech's Combo Touch at $199. The conversation also touches on the role of the Smart Connector versus USB-C pass-through charging, and how these choices affect creative professionals and students. Finally, they consider whether Apple's keyboard redesign signals a broader shift toward making the iPad Pro a true MacBook alternative, or if it's just incremental improvement. #iPadPro #MagicKeyboard #Apple #iPadOS #Keyboard #Trackpad #FolioTouch #Logitech #SmartConnector #USB-C #Productivity #Technology #MacVsiPad #AppleRumors #PowerUser #CreativeWorkflow #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
