Apple Retail Stores Now Closed ‘Until Further Notice’

iPad Pro in AR 

View the new iPad Pro page on an iPad or iPhone, and scroll down a tad to “See iPad Pro in AR”. Very cool. The upcoming Magic Keyboard case looks to be a very cool near-black color. Makes me wish they’d switch the dark option for MacBooks from “space gray” to this near-black color.
