Apple just held its May 7 “Let Loose” event, where it premiered a number of new iPads, a shiny new Apple M4 chip, and some sleek, upgraded accessories to match the caliber of these new innovations - including a redesigned thinner and lighter Magic Keyboard, possibly a perfect companion for the new iPad Pro. 

The Magic Keyboard uses the floating design that many iPad fans have grown to love, and it comes with several significant design upgrades. It’ll be available in two finishes, Silver and Space Black, to match the available colors of the new iPad Pro.

The biggest design change is that the new Magic Keyboard will include a row of function keys along the top, similar to most full-size keyboards, to make it easier to control settings on your iPad Pro, including screen brightness and volume.
