Have you tried the new Folio yet? If so, what did you think of it? Apple still sells the regular $159 Smart Keyboard for older iPad Pro generations. This keyboard cover works only on the new iPad Pro models introduced in 2018. The 11-inch model will set you back $179 ( Apple, Amazon) and the 12.9-inch model is priced at $199 ( Apple, Amazon). TLDR: If you’re planning on toting around a 12.9-inch iPad Pro with a Smart Keyboard Folio, that will weigh about a kilogram, or 2.2 pounds.Īlso, this new Apple keyboard is a bit on the expensive side. You should definitely keep this in mind before purchasing it. In other words, the 12.9-inch Smart Keyboard Folio is almost as heavy as the 11-inch iPad Pro itself, which comes in at 468 grams. And if you opt for a 12.9-inch iPad Pro, the matching Smart Keyboard Folio comes in at 407 grams, a significant increase from the 340 grams for the regular Smart Keyboard for the previous-generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro. The Magic Keyboard (left) has more traditional keys than Apples Smart Keyboard (right) This would all be fine if the iPad Pro/ keyboard combo didnt cost so much.

I have been using a 2020 charcoal (grey) Magic KeyBoard on my 2021 iPad Pro 12.9 since day one, no problems (some iPadOS issues, but. When 2021 iPad Pro 12.9 was first released the 2020 Magic KeyBoard was as per Apple’s statements was ok to use and it would fit. The 11-inch version weighs in at 297 grams, up from the 245 grams of its predecessor. Davidalan said: There an ever so slight difference in thickness. Something to consider when picking up the Folio: weight. Like the Smart Folio it clips magnetically to the side of the iPad Pro, although now a Smart Connector on the side of the iPad Pro forms a physical connection providing power to the keyboard.
