Apple Confirms 2020 Magic Keyboard Will Work, But There’s A Catch

The new iPad Pro is on pre-order now and goes on sale on Friday, May 21. The dimensions on the new 12.9in model are slightly different from before, so if you have last year’s Magic Keyboard, it won’t fit, Apple said (the 11in version is identical so you can use the older keyboard on the brand-new tablet).

However, Apple has now released a new support document which specifies exactly what might and might not work. Apple says: “The first generation of the Magic Keyboard (A1998) is functionally compatible with the new iPad Pro 12.9-inch (5th generation) with Liquid Retina XDR display. Due to the slightly thicker dimensions of this new iPad Pro, it’s possible that the Magic Keyboard may not precisely fit when closed, especially when screen protectors are applied.”
