I bought an M4 iPad Pro and ended up returning it because I just don't like the magic keyboard. My current iPad is from 2018 and I use the Smart Keyboard Folio and (for me) it's just about perfect. Small, lightweight, not too expensive, easy to clean, and works great.

I've been hoping there were enough people like me that a third party would make a replacement but that never happened.

I know my current iPad Pro won't last forever so I suppose I'll end up with a Magic Keyboard setup eventually.



Still rocking a 2018 pro as well. At this point I would pay Apple for OS upgrades as I don’t see any reason to buy a new model.


Likewise. It still works fine for all the things I use it for. Long may it last!


I just don't understand the iPad + Magic Keyboard. Combined, they weigh as much as a macbook, which has a much better pad+KB and an OS that isn't crippled.


Yes! The Smart Keyboard Folio was nearly perfect.


Just don't update it to iOs 26, for me it became unusable.


I already did and it seems fine to me. I don't really notice much difference.
