According to netizens at Reddit, Apple is preparing to acquire Sonder, an Australian technology company that has recently developed a keyboard with a variable character, the Sonder Keyboard. It is said that each key of the keyboard is equipped with a small electronic ink screen inside, and the key character can be switched in real time according to the currently running program.
In addition, according to a Foxconn executive, the Sonder company has been acquired by Apple and the transaction is currently under way. Previously, as a fund-raising company of Foxconn Group, the Sonder Keyboard has been demonstrated at a high-tech product technology exhibition co-organized by Foxconn-Tsinghua University.
Sonder said in the official website: “Sonder Keyboard is a product that combines performance and design. We carefully designed every detail from inside to outside, and finally presented to everyone first is a forward-looking. With the electronic keyboard, each of its keycaps is transparent and can be customized in real time with the application. In addition, the more important point is that it is also a perfect artwork."
According to previous exposure, Apple is likely to hold a new Macbook Pro product launch event in the near future. The biggest highlight of this product is the OLED touch bar above the keyboard, which can display virtual function keys, but also has cool Lighting and application support.
There are also rumors that this OLED touch bar may not be the only highlight of the new Macbook Pro. Apple is also developing a new Magic Keyboard, and its biggest feature is also equipped with electronic ink buttons, users can customize the keyboard according to the application of the specific key results, but it is still in its early stages. This product description is very similar to the exposure of the Sonder keyboard, probably referring to Apple's acquisition of Sonder.
However, what exactly happens is that it will have to wait until the day the new Macbook Pro is officially released.
