Six Months with Apple’s Magic Keyboard for iPad
The keyboard that costs more than the 2020 iPad
Apple’s plan to turn the iPad into a laptop alternative is taking shape.
Slowly.
Over the past year, the company has introduced mouse support for iPadOS, the Magic Keyboard and additional Apple Pencil features that make the iPad a much better tablet.
At the iPad Air event last month, Apple promised that preorders for the new tablet would start in October. But here’s a pro tip; you can order the iPad Air 4th generation Magic Keyboard now.
This compatibility is because the Magic Keyboard for the 11 inch iPad Pro fits the footprint of the new iPad Air exactly. The new iPad Air has slightly larger bezels for the somewhat smaller 10.9-inch display. So if you’re excited for the new Air, you can at least buy half of the machine now and wait for preorders to go live soon.
