Apple gave us a brand new Magic keyboard to go alongside the new M4 iPad Pro. I wanted to compare it to the old Magic Keyboard to see if its worth all the hype

The function row makes all the difference in a good way. Much worth the upgrade.

@pipo9970 15 күн бұрын

Absolutely agree on trading in the pencil and keyboard, that would actually be a compelling case for me to upgrade from an M1

I agree I still have the previous keybord in my cupboard. i am most excited about ios 18 as i keep on hearing that Apple are going to launch a hybrid version of the software which will be mor like mac osx.

MobileReviewsEh found that if you touch the screen on the new keyboard, it falls back so much more. Seems like a big issue that I think Apple needs to resolve imo.

@atxrich 15 күн бұрын

For my use case it definitely doesn’t justify upgrading from my M1 Pro and Magic Keyboard. Other than weight, I didn’t find the trackpad or keyboard experience lacking. I wish Apple could focus on pushing iPadOS to more of a mac experience. Where the lines between using a MacBook and iPad Pro are blurred.

Any idea if the new iPad Air 13 inch works with the Smart Keyboard Folio?

@smartone179 10 күн бұрын

Is the new Apple Magic Keyboard compatible with my IPad Pro (5th generation)? I currently have the previous keyboard and would like the better trackpad. You alluded to the alignment of the magnets to be able to use the old keyboard, so am assuming the same issue would be true for using the new keyboard on a previous IPad Pro. I’m not ready to upgrade IPad’s, but I would upgrade the keyboard. Thanks in advance for your thoughts…

It’s further back to make room for the bigger trackpad and function keys

The old polyurethane material was so easy to easy to damage, especially around the keys. That alone is a massive improvement.

I did buy the new Magic Keyboard as I do use the trackpad quite a bit. For me I also like the added row of function keys. The iPad Pro is my laptop even thought iPadOS sucks. I do a lot of video and photo editing. My 13” with 1 TB shows up Monday!!

@mattpipes5106 13 күн бұрын

🐬I was thinking about getting the 13” iPad Air so I could keep using my Magic Keyboard. I’m still mulling it over as I start putting money into savings, but I would definitely have kept the same keyboard when upgrading. I’m probably going to keep my current 2018 iPad Pro regardless though. I’m curious how the new Magic Keyboard is balance wise when you use it on your laptop as opposed to a desk… That’s my one complaint with the old keyboard was that it is tippy.

What do you think of display scratch risk due to the aluminium side facing and touching directly the screen?

@Amanda-po9xe 15 күн бұрын

The screen isn’t touching the metal directly, there’s a ”rubber lining” surrounding the keys

I think your case is different from mine, because if I'm not mistaken you was looking to upgrade because you wanted a better storage configuration. I'm currently rocking a 1TB M1 iPad Pro... and I personally don't want to downgrade to a lower tier storage. So, it's not a big deal upgrading to the newer M4 iPad Pro... given the cost factor. But if I could get the new accessories with my M1 iPad Pro, I'd definitely settle for it. Because I picked up a 1TB M4 iPad Pro and I'm more excited about the keyboard.

Not that Apple really does bundling, but it would be nice to see a free Apple Pincel with purhcase of iPad Pro and Keyboard. Also, I thought there an upgrade to the wattage of the new keyboard. Is it still the same 20Wh?

I cursed Apple at first and wanted to use my old Magic Keyboard. After getting the new one, a smile came to me because now I get it. I will get a back-up iPad on the cheap to use on the road and in certain conditions. The M4 performance on my compute intensive tasks is breathtaking. Cannot wait for some apps to unleash the full power of this iPad. For most normal day to day users, the old generation iPads are more than enough. . My grandson will appreciate me loaning him my old one.

Saw a video, there is a way to use old magic keyboard with iPad 2024. It needs a thin magnetic plate between ipad & keyboard. importing it from china soon.

Agreed, it is annoying that they have no trade-in program for the old accessories. It's wasteful for them to be sitting around otherwise, and a pain to have to try selling them.... which I will be doing with the old magic keyboard now.
