While the new Magic Keyboard for the iPad Air has a lower $269 starting price, it is also missing a feature that was previously offered.

This iPad accessory lineup refresh brings along a mix of enhancements and trade-offs. The most notable shift is its positioning: it effectively bridges the gap between the premium iPad Pro keyboard and the more basic Folio, offering a floating design at a more accessible price point.

Alongside the new iPad Air, Apple has launched an updated Magic Keyboard which adds function keys, and costs $30 less than before.
