As you well know, the guys at iFixit often have the habit of analyzing every nook and cranny of each new product that the Cupertino company launches on the market. This becomes especially important when we find a revolutionary and especially impressive system such as the new Magic Keyboard of the iPad Pro, that keyboard cover that literally makes our iPad float and that gives more meaning than ever to the word "Magic" that flags the product. iFixit has put Apple's new Magic Trackpad under the X-Rays and the result is impressive, when engineering becomes art.
Mainly what we can see most inside are magnets, many magnets, and that is so that everything stays in place according to the company's standards and mainly that the iPad does not fly away given the absence of any type of housing. This is what iFixit analysts have said:
You would never imagine that this is technically an accessory to the current iPad Pro.
The trackpad has been completely redesigned to offer a good experience, far from that offered by an Apple Trackpad with Force Touch but at least it maintains the essence of being able to press anywhere on it. The reality is that it has a variety of physical buttons that allow us to function unlike most trackpads from other companies that include only two buttons. However, where the engineering is most visible (apart from the magic of magnets) is in that special hinge that seems to float. In the same way, iFixit makes special mention of the location of the magnets, totally strategic and dedicated to ensuring that the iPad is firm and uniform on the case without the need to use any type of physical support, and Apple knows a while about magnets.
