Today Apple launched its latest Mac mini and Mac Studio models, and alongside the release, minor updates have been made to the company’s various Magic Keyboard accessories.
Latest Magic Keyboards remove text labels from keys in favor of icons
Apple’s Mac mini and Mac Studio just got powerful upgrades thanks to new chips like the next-generation M6 and high-end M5 Ultra.
You can pre-order the latest models now: Mac mini available here, Mac Studio available here.
Alongside these desktop improvements, Apple has also revised its lineup of Magic Keyboards with new models that have one subtle change.
The latest Magic Keyboards remove text labels from many keys in favor of using glyphs instead.
Apple did the same thing earlier this year with MacBook Neo, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro. Now, the Magic Keyboard has gotten the same revision.
The change applies across all new Magic Keyboard models:
- Magic Keyboard: $99
- Magic Keyboard with Touch ID: $149
- Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad: $179
Common keys like tab, caps lock, return, shift, and delete drop text in favor of showing icons only. And on extended models with the numeric keypad, keys like Home, Page Up, and Page Down have brand new icons that replace the text.
Other than the transition to glyphs, the new Magic Keyboards otherwise appear the same as their predecessors. They all support USB-C and offer the same functionality and layouts as before.
