Apple may soon release new backlit Smart Keyboard with scissor switch design
Apple may soon release a new backlit Smart Keyboard for the iPad with a scissor switch design, according to Taiwanese industry publication DigiTimes who claim the accessories will launch alongside Apple’s next-generation 2020 iPad and iPad Pro models.
The “glowing” scissor switch design will presumably give the iPad a MacBook-style light-up keyboard for typing in the dark, with the accessory expected to launch in the second half of 2020.
We recommend taking the report with the usual pinch of salt, especially given that reputable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has previously claimed that iPad keyboards would stick with a rubber dome design rather than scissor switches in 2020 however, the thought of Apple expanding its backlit keyboards to the iPad certainly is interesting.
