Firmware updates for your Apple Magic Keyboard are handled automatically in the background while it's actively paired with a device running macOS, iOS, iPadOS, or tvOS. You don't need to manually initiate the update process.
Here's a breakdown of how the updates work:
- Automatic Background Updates: The Magic Keyboard receives firmware updates wirelessly and silently when connected to a compatible Apple device (Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV).
- Active Pairing Required: The keyboard needs to be actively paired and connected to your device for the update to occur. Just being in the vicinity isn't enough; it must be actively in use or recently used.
- No Manual Installation: There's no button to press or software to run. The update happens automatically without requiring your intervention.
- Check Your Device's Software: Ensure your macOS, iOS, iPadOS, or tvOS is updated to the latest version. This will ensure compatibility and the latest firmware update delivery system.
In summary, keep your Magic Keyboard paired with your updated Apple device, and the firmware will automatically update in the background. There is no user-initiated process.
