Apple reportedly plans to put dynamic E Ink keyboards into MacBook laptops by 2018. The iPhone-maker is working with Australian startup Sonder, which is launching its own Bluetooth E-Ink keyboard later this year.
The UK paper says that Apple CEO Tim Cook met with Sonder's chief executive Francisco Serra-Martins in China last week, although Sonder denies that this happened.
The keyboards can be used to display not only the standard QWERTY layout, but also different alphabets and context-sensitive buttons for software like Photoshop. The keyboard has back-lighting and an E Ink display on each key.
It’s a solid indication of the future of input technology. Apple has a reputation of making big leaps which are seen to be unpopular, but then become the new standard. Dynamic keyboards are the standard for phones, they will be for laptops and desktops too.
