Ended up getting one because of this review and man it is seriously so much better. I’m so glad the function row exists now lol

I just bought the keyboard on the 11 inch and oh man it is fun to type on. At first I thought the differences was minimal, but the angle of the iPad, the touchpad, metallic finish, lights and function keys really grew on me. I am only concerned on the material below as you really have to be careful where you put the case on top of from damage. But so far loving it.

Honestly one of the biggest upgrades in my opinion. Such a good solid improvement over the previous one

It is such a solid keyboard absolutely worth the upgrade 💯

I used to use the mess out of the old magic keyboard so I know I would love this one! Only problem is im not willing to upgrade my M2 Pro yet. But im so tempted just for this

In the same boat, and in person it is nicer for me both the iPad and keyboard weren’t that much of an upgrade. KZreadrs had me fooled, but most people you speak to in person including the Apple Store workers advised me Not to upgrade. It is lovely but prob not worth the upgrade unless you really really need the updates ie function keys.

Hahahahaah you and me both

There are a couple of videos that talk about when the iPad is in the magic keyboard and when you press the screen, the iPad rocks back due to the position of the hinge. The hinge is slightly elevated. Can you give us ur take on this?

I may be in the minority, but i absolutely dislike the keyboard light bleed. I feel it looks cheap and prefer the individual letter illumination.

Interesting! I personally found the light on the old keyboard to be almost not worth it, and I hated that I couldn’t turn it completely off knowing that it was sapping more battery to accomplish barely anything. But we all have our preferences!

4:32 no data transfer? So whats the point of the port?

Selling an ipad for $1500 and a case for $350 should be a crime.

It’s the same Magic Keyboard keys as the last model. The older one is slightly better than the new one. I get the other upgrades but the keys are the same. No change.

Because one loves the touch aspect of a tablet. It’s so easy to maneuver around with simply touching a tablet. Now one could say, well you can just learn how to use a touch pad. But then you have to learn something, and I’m sure even the Apple touchpad has limitations. Then there’s the Apple Pencil, which is quite helpful for those who like to take handwritten notes, or who like to draw on their iPad. I got an Apple Pencil for my m4 iPad Pro. Now I likely won’t ever use it for drawing, but it does make for the worlds most expensive (and best) stylus. It is also nice to use instead of my finger, and it does reduce smudging. There’s also the portability of an iPad. You always have to take the keyboard along with a MacBook, & you don’t with an iPad. I like to call it a larger iPhone, without the phone part. A great in between device, that for me, I use 80-85% or more of the time. I only need a MacBook for word documents, storing music, and then for transferring the music to my iPhone. Until the day (if ever), that an iPad can store & transfer music, I’ll have to have a MacBook.

This is why I use the Air and got the 11 M4 Pro without a Magic Keyboard and strictly touch and pen use. If I really need a KB, it’s paired with a Mac Magic Keyboard at home but not something I would take always with me. It’s 2.3 lbs (11” with MKB) or 2.7lbs (13” with MKB) and at this weight it’s just silly to want to carry the iPad with the keyboard. I rather take my Air and 11” Pro so I have both to use as Mac still has more utility for my workflow

I’m planning to upgrade from my 2020 iPad Pro to the M4 iPad Pro. My only confusion is which color and keyboard color I should get. Currently, I have a Space Grey iPad and a Black Magic Keyboard. I like your combination of the Space Black iPad with the White Magic Keyboard! What do you think about it?
