Apple is now selling the Magic Keyboard, Trackpad, and Mouse that debuted with the new iMac in April as individual accessories, YouTuber Rene Ritchie notes.
These accessories are practically unchanged from their predecessors, with the exception of the Magic Keyboard s new fingerprint scanner, which enabled the use of Touch ID on a desktop Mac for the first time. (The biometric authentication tool was previously limited to certain models of iPhone, iPad, and MacBook.) Otherwise, they re functionally identical to older models.
Magic Trackpad
The main selling point is the design. Apple matched the accessories colors with those found on the latest iMac, which meant the days of being restricted to a silver or space gray accessory were over. The Magic Keyboard, Trackpad, and Mouse would finally be available in blue, green, pink, yellow, orange, purple, in addition to silver.
