Regarding Engadget’s Photos of a Supposed New Apple Keyboard

Erik Barzeski has a good run-down of what’s new if this rumored keyboard isn’t a fake. If it’s real, Apple is moving toward MacBook-style hardware functions for F-keys; the Help button being replaced by “Fn” would allow you to toggle the F-keys between hardware functions and regular F-key functions. I think it’s a fake, but it’s elaborate and well-done enough that I wouldn’t bet much against it. (I also don’t think white keys go well against a silver background.)
