The New iPad Pro Doesn't Fit Perfectly When The Case Is Closed As first reported by The Verge, a new section of Apple's support website clarifies that "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." In other words, if someone buys the new 12.9-inch 2021 iPad Pro, they can keep using it with the 2020 Magic Keyboard if they'd like. Thankfully, Apple is now backtracking on that stance a bit.

For an accessory that costs $349, that didn't sit right with a lot of folks. It's the accessory to get for die-hard iPad users, but shortly after the 2021 iPad Pro's announcement, Apple told people that it wouldn't work with the newest 12.9-inch iPad Pro - despite the 20 iPad Pros being virtually identical. Instead, people that upgraded to the 2021 iPad Pro would need to buy a new version of the Magic Keyboard.

It features backlit scissor keys, a trackpad, and has a unique floating design that enables multiple viewing angles for the iPad. The Magic Keyboard launched last April for the 2020 variant of the iPad Pro, and overall, it's the most impressive keyboard accessory Apple has ever created for the iPad. Apple previously said that the accessory wasn't compatible at all with its latest generation of the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, but the company has now offered some much-needed clarification around it. Thanks to an updated support page from Apple, it appears that the old Magic Keyboard accessory will work with the 2021 iPad Pro after all.
