In addition to the iPad Pro update, the MacBook Air and the Mac mini were also updated.
Apple today announced new versions of the iPad Pro, MacBook Air and Mac mini in a press release. As expected, the MacBook Air is saying goodbye to the butterfly keyboard and is receiving the new keyboard technology based on scissor switches as part of this revision. Apple:
MacBook Air now features the new Magic Keyboard, first introduced on the 16-inch MacBook Pro. A redesigned scissor mechanism provides 1 mm of key travel for a comfortable and stable key feel, while the new inverted "T" arrow key layout makes it easier to find them without looking down. MacBook Air features a stunning unibody wedge design made from 100 percent recycled aluminum and is available in three finishes—gold, silver, and space gray. The 13-inch Retina display delivers over 4 million pixels and millions of colors. Whether customers are reading an email, enjoying a movie, or editing their photos, text is crisp and images more lifelike.
