& ldquo; while stocks last & rdquo; can be read on the American Apple Store pages. In the Netherlands and Belgium; the pages for the Magic Mouse 2 (& euro; 109), Magic Trackpad 2 (& euro; 159) and the Magic Keyboard with numeric keypad (& euro; 159) have not yet been adjusted, but that will undoubtedly happen. From now on you can only buy them in white.

It has to do with the fact that Apple has discontinued the also space gray iMac Pro. This was kind of a saving grace when Apple didn't have a new Mac Pro available yet. Pro users complained at the time that Apple had forgotten about the pros, followed by a session where the iMac Pro was unveiled, with the promise of a new Mac Pro to follow. There is now, but Apple has discontinued the iMac Pro.

The space gray accessories were initially exclusive to the iMac Pro. They have also been available separately since March 2018.

Apple has now announced the new M1 iMac, which will be released this month. It comes with a special version of the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID (excluding the entry-level model). The mice, trackpads and keyboards that you get are available in seven colors, matching the color of the Mac. Apple does not sell separately yet, but that may change in the future.

Alternatively, you could opt for the space gray accessories from Satechi in the photo below (also available in compact version).

A space gray version of the M1 iMac isn't available yet. However, you can choose from the extra colors yellow, orange and purple with the top models. Probably many people would have preferred a somewhat dark color.
