So good. If you plan to buy ipad pro, Please consider magic keboard too. I definitely think the magic keboard is worth the money. 👍⌨️

Hey there! It’s been a few days now, and I’d say I’m borderline obsessed with that damn Magic Keyboard. I should mention—I already own the ESR Magnetic Shift, a Logitech MX Keys Mini, and a Bluetooth mouse… and I barely even use them with my iPad. But for some reason, I can’t shake this ridiculous urge to get the Magic Keyboard. Please, talk me out of it!

Later edit : I failed, guys... just placed the order on a white one that i found for 200$ brand new ...

Curious – for those of you using the Magic Keyboard long term:

•     Do you feel it’s worth the price in the long run?

•	Any tips/tricks to get the most out of it (shortcuts, apps, workflows)?


•	Do you use it more for productivity or just casual browsing?

Hi, I would like to ask your opinion about the magic keyboard for the new iPad for M4 specifically the 13" version. I was first considering buying either the 11" with the keyboard or the 13" without. I bought the 13" iPad Pro due to more positive things and now I am finally considering the magic keyboard after a month of use. Could you please advise me if it is worthwhile and makes sense ? I've come across plenty of times when it would come in handy and typing on a software keyboard hasn't been the same. But I was wondering how do you find it ? Has anyone solved the same problem ? Would you recommend the keyboard even though it costs as much as it does ? I don't want to take it into consideration, but I also have a MacBook Pro, I don't need to replace it, I just probably have an iPad in my hand more often.

I ordered the new 13” pro (upgrading from the 10.5” pro from 2017!) and I also ordered the Magic Keyboard… I’m still on the fence about keeping the keyboard. I was really hoping for something more like the Logitech combo touch to be able to detach the actual keyboard portion and still having the edge to edge protection while using it strictly as a tablet; however, it looks like they’re only offering this keyboard in black and I really wanted a white/light colored option… first world problems, I know 😅 anyone have any recommendations for other types of keyboard/folios similar to the Logitech that actually work well with iPad? Or should I really keep the Magic Keyboard?

I have the 11 inch 2018 pro and i’m looking to upgrade to the new m5 later this year. With the purported changes with ios 19 it makes sense to get the 13 inch as i’m looking for a replacement laptop till the oled mbp comes out next year. As an ipad portable device i really don’t travel i just stay at home for the most part, but I wanted to get opinions on the 13 inch for the magic keyboard. Hell I don’t even have the new keyboard so those who do have it with the 11 inch new models can share as well. Thanks.

just dont get it. I got it cause I didn’t have a laptop and wanted to work on digital art + notes (thus the apple pencil)

the 13” is TOO BIG (imo), when in portrait mode- it’s wayyyy too big but when used as a laptop with the magic keyboard, I like it.

also DONT be like me and GET THE MAGIC KEYBOARD IN WHITE 🙏🙏

honestly i’d rather have the pro 11” with the magic keyboard in silver/black + apple pencil (also cause the pro has face recognition and the air has touch id)

pick your poison

Thinking of getting the Magic Keyboard but not sure if worth getting it instead of the Logitech Combo Touch. The only downside of the Logitech one is that doesn’t have the power Botton to turn the iPad off and the material they use is not nice. The magic keyboard look and feel nice but doesnt have a case to protect the ipad. Do you use the ipad naked without any case when you remove it from the magic keyboard?

Is it worth buying the magic keyboard for my m4? I already have a macbook so i’m wondering if it’s worth it

Really excited with these new iPads and considering buying a new 13 inch air. I am just wondering if I could get the air through Apple and then get some discounted accessories with the Apple Pencil two and the 12.9 keyboard to save some money.

Long post but worth if you’re considering a iPad Pro M2, M3, or M4. I still believe the M1 is still decent as well. This thing has been amazing. First off, I was torn between a iPad and MacBook, obviously the Mac allows for more. But wait! Ask yourself, are you doing coding or anything extensive that you need a Mac? If not then the iPad is perfect as it was for my case. It legit does everyone I want/need. The cellular option was the biggest deciding factor for me, because I want to be connected at all times, plus with Verizon I can turn on WiFi calling on and it acts just like another phone for me in the event that my Apple Watch or iPhone gets lost etc. Aside from the Magic Keyboard which is DEFINITELY worth it, I love the tablet form convenience. It is the BEST media consumption device you could have and extremely fast. P.S. get a Pikita Case(off brand is Benks) if you need a case that allows different folding options for your iPad if you don’t need your Magic Keyboard & to keep your pencil in place. No regrets with this device at all.

I really love the magic keyboard but it leaves my shiny new iPad a bit unprotected, I have skimmed amazon for a while and haven't found a case that can stay on the iPad and fit in the magic keyboard (allowing it to be open and closed without removing it) does anyone have any?

Clarification: I mean something like this but for the 2024 M4 13 inch iPad Pro

First and foremost, I don’t like how YouTubers always promote the iPad Pro’s. I personally use an iPad Air M2 13” 256GB, which is more than enough power for me personally. I’ll be honest, I never saw why it Apple would make a Magic Keyboard for the iPad, as I always thought it was just a flex to be real with you. (Okay, I’ll admit I was a hater😂), then after buying one luckily brand new sealed at a significant discount, I now see why people say you can potentially use this in a laptop-like way, I’ve been primarily using this setup mainly the whole week intentionally with my full time job and studies, it really did the wonders for me. I feel less distracted than using my MacBook to be quite frank and felt I was way more productive using this Magic Keyboard with my iPad Air 13”, I personally use it as an alternative laptop just in case if my M1 MacBook Air breaks, god forbid, it really excelled in the experience for me with the iPad. One thing I was really concerned with in the beginning was the battery life as I was scared a full charge wouldn’t last the whole day. Luckily, it does! I take it everywhere with me now more than my MacBook, even to the office, I only go once a week for meetings that mandatory to attend. I do my banking, signing documents is more easier (now just need to get the Apple Pencil, will probably get the Apple Pencil Pro sometime later in the year), sending emails, sending documents from my iCloud Drive from my stuff from my MacBook, making and editing documents to give to new clients. Taking it to meeting to make notes (with the note app) instead of having a diary, it honestly makes my life so much easier, I don’t really care about not having the cellular version of the iPad, as i use my iPhone as hotspot and buy a lot of data monthly, and mainly around WiFi luckily. People are even shocked at the workplace that I am using an iPad to do my work, as they don’t really know what an iPad is capable of. In first world countries in the field I’m in. They mainly use iPads with a Magic Keyboard to do their work as it involves a lot of research/prospecting in properties. The keyboard hasn’t left my iPad ever since. I really wouldn’t consider myself a heavy user, due to the fact I don’t photo edit, video edit, I luckily have a professional photographer who specialises in taking photos of homes before putting it on the market and he is very good at it. Then just stuff for me and then emails the photos.

Hi! I currently have a 2017 10.5 Pro, the screen shattered and the age of the processor shows. I loved this iPad for its form factor of the smaller pro and it being the first iPad series with ProMotion. Really helped me improve with maths and sciences.

Looking at the demos physically, the huge OLED of the 13" and its Macbook sized magic keyboard looks lovely. My main use cases are for school, I'm going to take IB for junior and senior year which has a lot of writing, sciences, and math. Since I'm gonna spend a lot of time with this iPad and it stays for me for 7 years, might as well be a good one. My worry is if I take the 11" as a main device in school, it might be too much of a compromise for multitasking such as Google Docs and Safari or a PDF with Goodnotes together, it might be too small and I see myself squinting with the smaller screen. Editing photos on LR mobile is important for me too, I take lots of photos. Little bit of game ports to iPadOS should be fun too.

Might wanna take the 11 inch for its portability. 😃

Thoughts? Thank you!

Hello - I just order my 13 inch iPad Air and also ordered the 12.9 inch Magic Keyboard from Amazon for $279 (20% off). Since there is a 0.1 inch difference, so I'm wondering if they are fully compatibile. I still don't understand why the new Magic Keyboard is only for the Pro version.. It should work with 13 inch iPad air too.

I’m planning to buy an M4 iPad Pro (12.9 inch) this week. My main question right now is if it’s worth buying the new Magic Keyboard.

Things I want to know are:

1. Is the iPad pro with the MKB wobbly as it is?

2. Is the iPad pro with the MKB wobbly when using it with the Pencil Pro? (For highlighting ebooks, writing some notes)

3. Do I need 3rd party iPad cases when using it in tablet mode since it will be bare?

You can answer the questions above or just share your experiences with the M4 iPad. Any comments are appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT: Decided to go with the iPad pro 13 inch and MKB combo! Will update you guys but so far the experience is great. Thank you for all the comments!

I originally upgraded from the M1 12.9 to the M4 13 on launch day for the new iPads. The reduction in weight was great...for a little bit. Unfortunately, the new weight and thinness doesn't fundamentally fix the awkward handling when trying to use the big iPad as a tablet. It still requires you to prop it up with a pillow or hold it with two hands endlessly. I didn't feel like I made much of an upgrade, so I returned the M4 13 + Magic Keyboard and picked up the M4 11 + Apple Pencil Pro.

HOLY CRAP this feels sooo much better. I can actually hold the tablet with one hand comfortably endlessly without needing to constantly prop it up! This was the reduction in weight that I originally wanted when upgrading. I don't use the Apple Pencil for drawing, it's purely for relaxed navigation. It's far much more chill sitting/laying on the couch casually poking at the screen instead of constantly having to stretch my hand everywhere or use the keyboard. The new "squeeze" function can be used with Apple shortcuts as well. That one little addition fixes a lot of my issues with the Apple Pencil from previous years!

The biggest surprise for me was actually enjoying the screen size reduction. I was wary of "downgrading" from using a 12.9 inch for years to a much smaller 11-inch tablet. I'm happy to be wrong on this, the 11-inch size feels like the perfect size for a tablet. I didn't realize before that the 12.9/13 inch is simply waaay too big. Unless you're sitting at a desk, the 13-inch feels "wrong" as a tablet. Everything just feels too spaced out, it requires far more effort to do basic touch navigation.

So if you're someone like me who uses the ipad more for reading, movie watching, light gaming, web browsing, etc. the 11-inch model I think is the right choice. I originally bought the M1 12.9 mainly for the mini led display (movies looked amazing on it.) However, now that both sizes have OLED displays, the 11-inch iPad feels like a no brainer for most people.

I ordered this online and like it a lot. However, I got it to use in place of my heavy laptop when I travel or go to a coffee shop. And man is it heavy! It feels like I’m walking around with a brick in my bag. Not quite as bad as my laptop but doesn’t feel like the light little tablet I can just throw in my bag that I was expecting it to be. It feels like the keyboard itself weighs as much as the iPad itself, if not more.

If I returned this and got the 11 inch would I be happier or is it nearly just as weighty? I was unable to find any weight specs on apples website for their keyboards. I’m willing to give up some screen real estate in favor of better portability.

Hey Folks, just a couple of questions for you comparing the iPad Pro sizes when they are paired with a Magic Keyboard.

Right now I am typing on an 11 inch iPad Air with a Magic Keyboard. I have literally never used a Magic Keyboard until today. The quality is amazing (as usual with apple), but just a couple of small items I am questioning whether or not I like them. And curious if the 13 pro would have these same quirks.

1. The top row of buttons are very hard to type without hitting my knuckles. The delete button and all of the numerical buttons are kind of a pain in the tush to type out. Making mistakes sucks cause the delete button is tricky to get to. is this something I will get used to eventually? Does the 13 inch pro have this same thing with the Magic Keyboard?

2. The trackpad on this Magic Keyboard feels great but it is tiny. Is the trackpad on the 13 inch Magic Keyboard a bit larger?

Other than those two items this keyboard feels amazing and very high quality.

Thanks for your input and advice.

I have an iPad. I usually use it to write documents. Is it worth buying a Magic Keyboard or a MacBook?
