If you own one of the latest iPads and use it with a Magic Keyboard, your typing setup might be getting a silent upgrade today.Apple has started rolling out a firmware update for several of its keyboard models,specifically for the newer iPad Air and iPad Pro devices.
It’s time for a little maintenance for your iPad accessories. In a new report, it was spotted that Apple is pushing out a firmware update to four specific Magic Keyboard models. Unlike iOS updates that demand your attention with a notification badge, this one is happening quietly in the background. The update targets the keyboards designed for the latest generation of tablets, meaning the ones with the M3 and M4 chips. While Apple hasn’t released a detailed list of patch notes (which is pretty standard for these types of accessories),updates like this usually squash bugs,improve connectivity,or fix little glitches that might have been annoying you.
Here are the specific models receiving the update and the version numbers you should look for:

You can check if your keyboard has the latest firmware by connecting it to your iPad, going to Settings > Bluetooth, tapping the “i” icon next to your Magic Keyboard, and looking at the “Firmware Version”. It should update automatically while connected and your iPad is charging, so you don’t really need to do anything. If it doesn’t update right away, don’t worry; these rollouts can take a little time to reach everyone. It’s always a good idea to keep your accessories updated, as it can improve your overall experience and ensure everything works smoothly.
