Apple released new firmware for its Magic Keyboard accessories for the iPad Pro and iPad Air. The update bumps the iPad Pro version to 1872.544.772 and the iPad Air version to 1024.320.771. This applies to both the 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models and the M3 iPad Air.

The refreshed keyboard, launched alongside the M4 iPad Pro, features a floating design, a dedicated function key row, and a larger glass trackpad. Firmware updates are infrequent and install automatically when the keyboard is attached to a connected iPad. There’s no manual method to force an update.

These updates typically address minor bugs or improve accessory performance. For iPad users who rely on the Magic Keyboard as a primary input device, a stable connection and reliable trackpad are critical. The new firmware likely refines the integration between the iPadOS cursor and the hardware.

To check your current firmware, navigate to Settings > General > About > Magic Keyboard. The update will download and install automatically overnight or when the iPad is idle and charging. This ensures the accessory stays in sync with the latest iPadOS software releases.
