[ad_1] More like a laptop than ever When I reviewed the third-generation iPad a year and change ago, I half-jokingly wrote this: “I know there’s zero chance of Apple listening to me, but I have to try. Hey, guys, can you please figure out how to make a trackpad work on this thing? I work […]

iFixit’s MacBook Air teardown confirms 0.5mm thicker keyboard
[ad_1] “More than anything, that 0.5 mm illustrates the sheer unnecessary-ness of the five painful years that Mac fans spent smashing on unresponsive butterfly keyboards,” iFixit writes. “Knowing that Apple’s thinnest-and-lightest notebook accommodates a scissor-switch keyboard so gracefully makes us wonder what it was all for.” The keys also lack the silicon barrier that iFixit […]
Apple rolls out iOS and iPadOS 13.4 with trackpad support

It sounds like the circle will morph and change shape to highlight different user […]
Apple may expand mouse support with iPadOS 14
[ad_1] For the most part, the expanded mouse support would bring the cursor features Mac users are familiar with to iOS. But the pointer may disappear automatically when mouse or trackpad activity stops, 9to5Mac reports. There may also be other Mac gestures, like tapping with two fingers to right-click. Last month, rumors began circulating that […]
Apple’s keyboard cover for the next iPad Pro could add a trackpad
[ad_1] With the launch of iPadOS, Apple’s tablet has become more of a conventional computing device than ever. As such, it makes sense that the line between iPad Pro and laptop could become even more blurred. A rumor from The Information claims Apple is gearing up to mass produce a new keyboard accessory for the […]
Brydge unveils Surface keyboards and iPad trackpad
[ad_1] Don’t worry, Brydge hasn’t forgotten its iPad roots. It’s planning to ship an iPadOS Trackpad (below) that, as they name implies, is a Magic Trackpad-style device that takes advantage of iPadOS’ basic mouse support. It ships in the second quarter. And if you can’t wait that long, the previously hinted-at Brydge Pro+ trackpad-toting keyboard […]
