Apple Quietly Refreshes Magic Keyboards
MacRumors • • technology
Key Points:
- Apple has quietly updated its Magic Keyboard models with revised U.S. English key labeling, replacing text on certain keys with glyphs.
- The keys affected include tab, caps lock, shift, return, and delete on all updated keyboards, with additional keys like home, page up/down, end, clear, and enter also using symbols on full-size models with a numeric keypad.
- Four Magic Keyboard models have been refreshed: the standard Magic Keyboard, Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, and Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad, available in both white and black keys.
- The Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad without Touch ID remains unchanged, continuing to use text labels instead of glyphs.
- This update aligns with Apple's earlier transition to glyphs on MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Neo keyboards, and extends the new labeling to multiple countries using the U.S. English layout, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore.
