TWO Sydney brothers have reportedly done a deal with Apple to provide their e-ink keyboard to be included in next year’s Apple MacBooks.

The Wall Street Journal reports Apple has done a deal with Sonder founders, Felipe and Francisco Serra-Martins, who have developed a keyboard that has e-ink keys that change depending on which application you’re using, automatically switching from a Qwerty keyboard to shortcuts for programs like Photoshop.

The Wall Street Journal says: “the new keyboards will be a standard feature on MacBook laptops, and will be able to display any alphabet, along with an unlimited number of special commands and emojis.”

But other publications including Apple Insider have dismissed the report as false.

Apple has not commented on the report.

Sonder issued a statement that did not deny a deal with Apple but did say that an article reporting the detal contained errors, including details of a meeting between Sonder and Apple CEO Tim Cook.

“Sonder founder Francisco Serra-Martins did not meet Tim Cook on Wednesday 12th October 2016, although we would very much like the opportunity to do so in the future,” the statement said.

“We are not able to comment further on information on any single company or customer.”

The brothers unveiled their keyboard last year, using e-ink to change the display on the keys like an ebook reader changes its display.

In an interview last year with Start Up Daily, Francisco said the inspiration for the keyboard came from the presentation Steve Jobs gave in 2007 in launching the iPhone.

There are reports that Apple CEO Tim Cook met with the Sonder in China last week.
