Apple brings Magic Keyboard to iPad Air in Black

Apple has expanded its iPad Air accessory lineup by offering the Magic Keyboard in black for the first time. Until now the keyboard for the iPad Air was only available in white; the new color option visually aligns the Airs keyboard with the darker finish of the iPad Pros Magic Keyboard.

This update appears to be cosmetic: there are no reports of hardware or feature changes to the Magic Keyboard for iPad Air so far. The new black option is intended to provide more color continuity for users who prefer a darker, more professional look.

• What’s new: Magic Keyboard for iPad Air now comes in black (first-ever black variant).
• Why it matters: Offers a sleeker aesthetic and closer match to iPad Pro accessories.
• Availability & pricing: Apple has listed the new color; check the Apple Store for local availability and pricing.

For more details or to check availability, visit the Apple Store (open in a new tab).

Reports suggest this is a visual update only — no functional changes have been announced by Apple as of this writing.
