YouTuber Michaelangelo’s Tech has posted the first unboxing video for Apple’s new white Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro. The new keyboard accessory was unveiled alongside the 2021 iPad Pro, and has now started being delivered to customers.
Unsurprisingly, the Michaelangelo’s Tech channel notes that the white Magic Keyboard feels a whole lot like the previous-ten black Magic Keyboard to use. It certainly looks pretty darn nice, though.
Check out the unboxing video below.
I definitely like the white color. It’s very reminiscent of Apple products around the turn of the century, when the iPod was Apple’s hero product and everything — from MacBooks to iMacs — appeared in a plasticated white color to tonally match it.
The new Magic Keyboard is available in both black and white color options, in 11- and 12.9-inch versions, priced at $299 and $349 respectively.
Which of the two keyboards would you opt for? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
