Logitech announces the Folio Touch keyboard and trackpad for iPad Air 4
What you need to know
- Logitech has announced the Folio Touch for iPad Air 4.
- It's a "versatile and flexible keyboard case".
- It'll cost $159.99 from October.
Logitech has announced its own keyboard and trackpad combination that's designed with the newly announced iPad Air 4 in mind. The new Logitech Folio Touch will ship in October and will cost $159.99.
The new keyboard and trackpad combo is very similar to a keyboard by the same name that's designed for the iPad Pro. It's also a direct competitor to Apple's Magic Keyboard, too.
This keyboard isn't just about typing, though. You can use it for watching movies or even drawing, too.
The built-in trackpad is designed with iPadOS 14 in mind, making use of its advanced pointer support. That lets this keyboard not just give you a way to type, but also turns the iPad Air into a full desktop replacement, too.
It isn't available yet and you can't pre-order it, but Logitech says the Folio Touch will be available from its own online store and Apple's web store, too.
