Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 11-inch (4th, 3rd, 2nd & 1st generation) and iPad Air (5th & 4th generation) - British English - Black

Product Information

It's also worth noting that in 2021, Apple also introduced a white version of the Magic Keyboard for the first time, which is available for both the 11-inch and 12.9-inch ‌iPad Pro‌ models. Design The first-generation 12.9-inch Magic Keyboard released in 2020 is compatible with 2018 and 2020 ‌iPad Pro‌ models. It is not compatible with 2021 ‌iPad Pro‌ models. This hinge design makes this case stand out from every other iPad keyboard in existence. But is it the best possible design?

The displays have rounded corners. When measured diagonally as a rectangle, the iPad Pro 12.9‑inch screen is 12.9 inches, the iPad Pro 11‑inch screen is 11 inches, the iPad Air and iPad (10th generation) screens are 10.86 inches, and the iPad mini screen is 8.3 inches. Actual viewable area is less. If you reside in the U.S. territories, please call Goldman Sachs at 877-255-5923 with questions about Apple Card. Moving away from angling and into hovering, I really like the way the iPad hovers over the keyboard. I don't think Apple could have made the keyboard as roomy if it weren't for the fact that the iPad is up and out of the way. USB-C port for charging iPad Pro and iPad Air, freeing up the port on the iPad for other accessories. I would like to tell you that it's the best keyboard case ever made for the iPad Pro and you should throw all your other keyboards away, but at this price, I think it's more of an Apple fan's luxury buy than any true reason you shouldn't ever try any other keyboard case.

How to use your Magic Keyboard

Magic Keyboard is sold separately. Compatible with iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation or later), iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation or later), and iPad Air (4th generation or later). The keys themselves have rounded edges. They aren't sharp like the iMac's Magic Keyboard, but also not as soft as the Smart Keyboard for iPad. The keys have just the slightest bit of a concave curve. It's almost unnoticeable, but you can feel the curve if you run your finger across the keys. iPadPro 11-inch (1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th generation) or iPad Air (4th or 5th generation) running iPadOS 14.5 or later. Compatibility I am very aware of why Apple didn't include a row of function keys with the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro. It just wouldn't have fit. The overall experience would have been full-time poorer as opposed to only been poorer once in a while when you want to use function keys.

Instead of a case that you snap the iPad Pro into, it's designed so you can simply plop the iPad Pro onto the mount magnetically. There are multiple strong magnets on either side of the mount to keep the iPad Pro in place. There is no chance your iPad will slip away from the magnetic connection without a serious jolt. The tilt of the ‌iPad Pro‌ when inside the Magic Keyboard can be adjusted from 90 to 130 degrees. USB-C Port Starting with the Magic Keyboard, we thought that it was easy to pop off the iPad when you wanted to use it separately, with the magnets connecting it being firm and rigid, making it feel sturdy and secure to use. The version we reviewed pairs with the iPad Pro 2020, but it can be used with later iPad Pro generations, too. The Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro actually wins a lot of points for its thinness. It's significantly thinner than most keyboard cases I've used. Not thinner than the Smart Keyboard case, of course, but much thinner than the Brydge Pro+. The second-generation 12.9-inch Magic Keyboard released in 2021 is compatible with 2018, 2020, and 2021 12.9-inch ‌iPad Pro‌ models.The 11-inch Magic Keyboard options sold in 2020 and 2021 are compatible with ‌iPad Pro‌ models from 2018, 2020, and 2021, as well as the fourth-generation iPad Air. Software Requirements Of course, Apple’s own apps are optimized for the Magic Keyboard, as they were for the Smart Keyboard Cover, but have other major word processors caught up? Well, Word and Google Docs both haven’t optimized for Apple’s smarter cursor, that snaps to objects and adjusts from a dot to a cursor when you move to a text field. I'm not saying the unique angling isn't a good idea. It's certainly one of the best ideas I've seen for a keyboard case. I'm just saying I think it suffers from being overly designed. There are things about it that I love and things about it that I think are * overdesigned*. Let me explain. The first Magic Keyboard was released for the 2020 ‌iPad Pro‌ models in March of 2020, and a second-generation version came out in April 2021.
