Apple's new Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro is now available to order on Apple.com and begins arriving to customers next week<https://macrumors.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7d0106b433773bd0aef5828e0&id=efbdcc3e79&e=821bb7bf59>. Apple previously said the keyboard would launch in May, so this early availability was unexpected. The Magic Keyboard attaches magnetically to iPad Pro with a floating cantilevered design. Like on the 16-inch MacBook Pro, the full-size keyboard has backlit scissor switch keys with 1mm of key travel. There's also a built-in trackpad to take advantage of trackpad support in iPadOS 13.4.

This could result in iPhone 12 models looking similar to the iPhone 5. iPhone 12 models are still expected to feature a notch for the front camera and Face ID sensors, but it will likely be reduced in size. Apple's end goal is to remove the notch entirely. Apple is also expected to release a smaller HomePod, AirTags item trackers, and high-end, over-ear headphones<https://macrumors.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7d0106b433773bd0aef5828e0&id=526af08f8c&e=821bb7bf59> later this year.

The update introduces a new "Battery Health Management" feature<https://macrumors.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7d0106b433773bd0aef5828e0&id=d64c7853b6&e=821bb7bf59> for all Mac notebooks with Thunderbolt 3 ports. Battery Health Management is designed to extend the overall lifespan of a Mac notebook by reducing chemical aging. The feature will analyze the health of a Mac's battery and, in some cases, will preserve battery health by not charging a MacBook to full capacity. When a Mac is used plugged in and the battery is kept full for the most part, the Battery Health Management feature will kick in and it will stop short of a full charge, although battery life may still be listed as 100%.

Back in December, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said Apple was developing up to six Mini-LED products, including a 12.9-inch iPad Pro with an A14X chip for release in the third quarter of 2020<https://macrumors.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7d0106b433773bd0aef5828e0&id=d12d3abeb3&e=821bb7bf59>. This was before the global health crisis began, however, so it would be understandable if the timeframe has been pushed back due to supply chain disruptions and Apple engineers working from home. Apple just updated the iPad Pro last month with an A12Z Bionic chip, Ultra Wide camera, LiDAR Scanner, and improved microphones.

The opt-in system will rely on Bluetooth to alert users when they have potentially come in close contact with someone who later tests positive for COVID-19, while respecting user privacy. First, in mid-May, both companies will release APIs that enable interoperability between iOS and Android devices using apps from public health authorities. Then, in the coming months, the contact tracing system will be integrated into iOS and Android without the need for any apps.
