iFixit hasn't yet done a full teardown of the new Magic Keyboard designed for the new iPad Pro models, but the repair site today partnered with x-ray company Creative Electron to create Magic Keyboard x-rays that give us a view of just what's inside.


The Magic Keyboard uses scissor switch keys instead of butterfly keys, which have now been effectively eliminated from Apple's product lineup. The scissor switch mechanism is clearly visible in the x-ray view, and iFixit calls it the simplest mechanism in the accessory, but the biggest improvement compared to the Smart Keyboard.

Below the keyboard, there are metal plates that iFixit believes are for reinforcing the keyboard's body against bending, and the trackpad is a new design that's different from MacBook trackpads.

There appear to be multiple buttons under the trackpad to capture presses, while the MacBook Trackpads have no buttons and simulate presses with haptic feedback.


There are at least two spring loaded hinge designs at the folding point, featuring both a small coil and a larger coil, plus there are two cables for connecting the Smart Connector to the keyboard for power and data transfer.

Lots and lots of magnets are visible in the x-ray, with the magnets used to hold the Magic Keyboard on the ‌iPad Pro‌. There's a whole ring of tiny magnets around the camera cutout, which iFixit said was a "lot of little polarized bits" to line up, space out, and configure with the ‌iPad Pro‌ components.

According to iFixit, there's more going on in the Magic Keyboard than there is in many laptops, which could explain its price point. Apple charges $299 for the 11-inch Magic Keyboard and $349 for the 12.9-inch version.

The new Day View offers quicker access to daily entries by tapping on or clicking dates in the calendar or the timeline.

Also in this update, Daily Reminders now include additional information like the number of photos taken and locations visited on a given day, and the Settings pages now provide links to Day One feature documents.

Elsewhere, several bugs have been fixed, including one that caused video thumbnails not to display in the media timeline, and one that prevented photos in the activity feed from showing location or calendar events.

Day One is a free download for iPhone and ‌iPad‌ from the App Store with in-app purchases for premium features. [Direct Link]

Microsoft plans to add trackpad and mouse support to its Word, Excel, and PowerPoint apps for iPad by the fall, according to TechCrunch and The Verge.

iPadOS 13.4 introduced trackpad and mouse support on all iPad models released in the past four to five years. Keyboards with trackpads include Apple's Magic Keyboard and Brydge's Pro+ for the iPad Pro and Logitech's Combo for the 10.2-inch iPad and the 10.5-inch iPad Air.

When using a trackpad, the cursor displays as a circle on the screen, popping up only when you have a finger on the trackpad. The circle then morphs into various other shapes when hovering over app icons, text fields, or other on-screen elements.

The big story of the week is Wikileaks' CIA data dump, and we sandwich that topic between Apple's upcoming event and Nintendo Switch hardware issues. Lewis Painter kicks things off with Apple's (fingers crossed) late March event where we hope to see iPads, iMacs and get our six monthly fix of Jony Ive product videos. Then (13 minutes) Tamlin Magee tackles Vault 7 and the CIA's apparent ability to take control of iPhones and TVs, bypassing encryption. Will continuous leaks change anything? Finally (26 minutes) Dom Preston talks about his time over the last few weeks playing Zelda on the Nintendo Switch and why we should be a bit concerned about dodgy controllers.

Gather round as three men spend 30 minutes talking about tech. Wait, what do you mean 'no thanks'?! Matt Egan shares the mic with David Price and Henry Burrell to thrash out why Apple deemed a press release adequate to announce the successor to 2014's iPad Air 2. There's also a slick new red iPhone, and a black OnePlus 3T. What's with the limited editions, eh? Or are they even limited? The gang also chat about the developer preview of Android O, out now while Android N is barely months old. Is it too early to say if it'll kick ass, and why do Google and Apple need such long public lead time with new OS builds?
