Apple will use E-ink panels in the keyboard of future Macbooks

Last week a rumor broke about the possibility that Apple was using E-ink panels on their laptop keyboards. A special way of providing a great novelty to the keyboards of what would be the future Macbooks.

It is now that The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple will be using these screens from 2018. And it is that the American brand has partnered with the Australian start-up to turn the more standard QWERTY keyboard into an almost empty table when the keys are not configured.

These new keyboards will be a standard feature on MacBooks and will be capable of display any letter of the alphabet, apart from an unlimited number of special commands and emoticons that many are used to today.

The company's plans are for a 2018 launch and Sonder Design will be in charge to develop the technology for that keyboard. The Australian startup was already mentioned in last week's rumor and since last year it has been developing an Apple-like keyboard that will be launched at a price of $ 199 this quarter.

In the animated GIF that we share, you can perfectly see the ability of that keyboard to display all the characters we want. They will not be able to be changed as quickly as it appears in the GIF, but it will offer a series of topics as the user wants to use one or the other.

The Macbook will have a different keyboard, but we can get a better idea of ​​what the Apple laptop keyboard will be. A special keyboard for polyglots who usually speak languages ​​that have different characters such as Chinese, Japanese or English. Another of its qualities is ability to customize to give another air to that keyboard that has hardly changed in many years.
