• Aaron Parris also says he found a reference to: The keyboard may come in several versions, including variants with Touch ID and number pads.
• What we can say for sure is that this time the company will switch its accessories to USB-CAs Apple moves towards standardizing this charging port and moving away from the Lightning port for all its devices.

There is a possibility that Apple will introduce updated versions of the Magic Mouse and Magic Keyboard along with the new Mac M4 model, and according to some reports, this may happen in October. Given that Apple tends to release updated accessories at the same time as hardware releases, it’s most likely that updated accessories will be released right now.
