Apple Magic Keyboard (with Smart Connector)

This specific Magic Keyboard is designed exclusively for iPads that feature the magnetic Smart Connector pins on the back. Compatible models include the iPad Pro 11-inch, iPad Pro 12.9-inch, and the iPad Air (4th generation and later). Older iPads that use the 30-pin or Lightning connectors are not compatible.

Because it connects via the Smart Connector rather than Bluetooth, the Magic Keyboard does not have its own internal battery. It draws power directly from the iPad itself whenever it is attached. This means you will never have to manually plug the keyboard in to charge it.

Yes, the modern Magic Keyboard folio cases designed for the iPad Pro and iPad Air include a dedicated trackpad. This trackpad fully supports Apple's iPadOS cursor system, which transforms the standard arrow into a circular, context-aware spotlight. It allows users to navigate the tablet entirely without touching the screen.

The Magic Keyboard features a floating cantilevered design that allows you to smoothly tilt the iPad screen to your preferred viewing angle. However, it is limited to a relatively narrow range of angles optimized for typing on a desk. Unlike traditional origami-style cases, you cannot fold it completely flat behind the tablet.
