Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro now available to order

In addition to the iPhone SE release yesterday, Apple also made the highly anticipated Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro available to order. The Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro features an adjustable hinge so you can adjust the angle to your liking. The second, and possibly more important feature, is the built-in Trackpad below the keyboard.

There are two sizes for the the Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro, one for the 11-inch iPad Pro and another for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. The Magic Keyboard designed for the 11-inch iPad Pro will work with both the 1st and 2nd generation 11-inch iPad Pro. The Magic Keyboard for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro will work with the 3rd and 4th generation iPad Pros.

When it was announced, Apple stated that the Magic Keyboard would be available in "May", but did not specify a date. Many pundits speculated that it would arrive at the end of May. However, for those who ordered their Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro yesterday, they will see their orders begin shipping between April 24th, and May 1st, which means they could arrive before May.

Both sizes are available in over 30 different keyboard layouts, depending on region. In the United States the available layouts are:

• Arabic
• British English
• Chinese (Zhuyin)
• Chinese (Pinyin)
• Danish
• French
• German
• Italian
• Japanese
• Korean
• Portuguese
• Russian
• Swiss
• US English
• Spanish

As of this writing, most layouts, for both sizes, will ship between April 27th, and May 4th. There are a couple of exceptions, the Arabic and Chinese (Pinyin) layouts have slightly longer ship dates of May 4th to May 11th and the Japanese layout has a ship date of May 11th to May 18th.

The 11-inch model is $299 and the 12.9-inch model is $349. They are available to order now.
