A few days after the official presentation of the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro with miniLED display, various sources pointed out that this modelor would it be compatible with the Magic Keyboard that Apple released a year ago for the 2020 and 2018 12.9-inch iPad Pro, a confirmation the company made official through its support pages.
Indeed, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is 0.5mm thicker than its predecessors, so if we use it with the Magic Keyboard of 2020, it won’t close completely, but it can be used without a problem. It should be remembered that Apple had added the color white to the Magic Keyboard, renewing the design to make it compatible with the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro.
The Magic Keyboard that Apple released in 2020 It’s not the only device that isn’t compatible with the new 12.9-inch iPad ProSince the Kensington StudioDock, another expensive accessory for this model, is also not a dock that costs more than 400 dollars.
The Kesington StudioDock is a stand for the iPad Pro that turns it into a computer and allows us to change your orientation and tilt in virtually any direction, but also, it’s a dock that includes:
- Puerto Gigabit Ethernet
- 3 USB-A ports
- 1 HMDI 2.0 port with 4K output
- 1 USB-C port
- 1 SD card reader
- 1 3.5mm puerto jack
- Includes wireless docking station for iPhone (7.5W) and one for AirPods (5W)
- Optionally, we can add a charger for the Apple Watch.
The website for this product has added an asterisk indicating that not compatible with the 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2021. The only reason I can think of for not being compatible with this model is that the support tab is designed to the millimeter for the iPad Pro 2018 and 2020, to secure it to the base.
With the 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2021 being 5mm wider, there’s no humane way to make this device work with the new model. What is clear after the renewal of the 2021 12.9-inch iPad Pro is that not worth it, provided you bought the Magic Keyboard at the time and / or that fantastic base that turns your iPad into a computer to use.
