Apple to Introduce Budget-Friendly Magic Keyboard for iPads by 2025

The new accessory aims to streamline Apple's iPad keyboard lineup with a cost-effective design and added function row.

The keyboard will be designed for the entry-level iPad and iPad Air, not the iPad Pro.
Expected to feature a function row, which is new for non-Pro iPad Magic Keyboards.
The design will use cheaper materials like silicone instead of aluminum.
This move follows the discontinuation of older Smart Keyboards.
Release is anticipated by mid-2025, according to Mark Gurman's report.
