Apple claims that the new 12,9-inch iPad Pro works with the previous Magic Keyboard although it will not close perfectly

With the launch of the new 12,9-inch iPad Pro and its display with mini-LED technology (not available on the 11-inch iPad Pro), Apple has been forced to launch a new version of Magic Keyboardsince, by increasing the size of the device by 0,5 mm, this it does not fit perfectly with the 1st generation Magic Keyboard.

Being a device that costs 400 euros, many have been the users who have expressed their discomfort about it, since if they had planned to renew their old iPad Pro taking advantage of the Magic Keyboard that Apple launched last year, they would also have to renew the keyboard as well if you want it to fit and close perfectly.

Some media were betting that Apple could launch a discount program for all those users who bought the first model of this keyboard for their iPad if they compared the new model of iPad Pro together with the keyboard.

However, it seems that Apple is not for work and washes his hands. That if, in the Magic Keyboard support page in the United States (in the Spanish version at the time of publishing this article this information does not appear), Apple has wanted to make it clear that they are compatible although with a but:

The first generation Magic Keyboard (A1998) is functionally compatible with the new 12,9-inch iPad Pro (5th generation) with Liquid Retina XDR display. Due to the slightly thicker dimensions of this new iPad Pro, the Magic Keyboard may not fit precisely when closed, especially when screen protectors are applied.

With the renewal of the 12,9-inch iPad Pro, Apple has taken the opportunity to add a new version in white, version that has the same price as the black model. Starting today, it is possible to pre-order both the new iPad Pro and the new Magic Keyboard.
