    All iPads Is Smart Keyboard Folio a bad design?

    Steve Jobs once said that touch screens don’t want to be vertical. It makes great demo, but after awhile of interacting with the screen, your arm wants to fall off. Touch surface needs to be horizontal. I know he was just referring to a touch screen mac, but ergonomically it still applies to...

    All iPads Should I use iPad Keyboard and Apple Pencil?

    I'm very indecisive. While I have a keyboard case for my iPad, I'm kinda starting to think I prefer my iPad as a tablet rather than act as a laptop but i'm interested in getting an Apple Pencil but don't want to spend too much but I will be getting paid very soon so i'm thinking whether to sell...

    Smart Keyboard Folio VS Smart Keyboard

    Hi there, I'd really appreciate your insight and experience using the Smart Keyboard Folio. For my older iPad Pro devices, I used Smart Keyboards. Both of them experienced connectivity issues a year later. They were treated kindly and only used at my desk, library, and classroom — however...

    Previous gen Apple Smart Keyboard on new 2020 iPad Pro (Photos)

    Here is what the previous gen iPad Pro Smart Keyboard looks like on the new 2020 iPad Pro (11 inch). I plan to use my existing Apple Smart Keyboard until Apple releases the new Magic Keyboard in May. Not the most ideal solution, but it does work!

    iPad Pro Smart Keyboard and charging problems

    So for the past month or two my iPad Pro 10.5, which is about a year old (and of course just outside of warranty) developed a strange issue where it was refusing to charge properly. It would get to around 91% and then display a “Not charging” message and go no further, at least not without some...

    iPad IPadOS mouse & Smart Keyboard not functioning together

    Does anyone face the same issue? I’ve no problems connecting any mouse to my iPad (whatever bêta release) but once I try to use the Smart Keyboard while the mouse is functioning then I can’t use the keyboard (chaotic behavior). Changing the mouse doesn’t help. I’d really appreciate your support. Thx

    Smart Keyboard Acting Up

    Whenever I connect my Smart Keyboard to my 9.7 iPad Pro, the charging sound and icon appear on the lock screen as if I've plugged in the iPad to a charger. I took it to the Apple Store today, and they were going to replace the keyboard, but the replacement did the same thing. Has anyone else...

    Smaller MacBook?

    I love the idea of an 11" MacBook or perhaps an unprecedented sub-11" device, compact notebook nirvana. Is anyone else interested in such a product? Another thought I have is replacing the headphone jack with a second usb-c port.

    Onscreen keyboard pops up when using smart keyboard on iPad Pro

    Hello, I bought the 12.7 iPad Pro and the Apple "smart" keyboard yesterday. I set it all up and it worked fine. This morning I was trying to use it and the onscreen keyboard kept popping up, which made the Apple smart keyboard inoperable. I Googled and the answer from Apple support was to...

    iPad Pro Smart keyboard loses connection ALL THE TIME!!!!

    I just bought the Smart Keyboard 3 days ago for my girlfriend. In 2 days of use, it dropped connection twice yesterday, and only this morning lost connection 3 times. It simply stops working and the only way of fixing it and connecting again is a full restart of the iPad. I did a quick search...

    iPad Pro How floppy is the 10.5 Smart Keyboard when used in tablet mode?

    For me, the Smart Cover leather and silicone have been a bust. This model seems to flop right off of the back of the iPad when holding it compared to previous iterations. My question is how secure does the magnet of the 10.5 iPad Pro Smart Keyboard magnetize to the back if I’m holding it in...

    iPad Pro Review: 10.5" iBlason Clear Hybrid Cover Case

    This is a review of the 10.5" iBlason Clear Hybrid Cover Case, purchased on Amazon. Sorry about the quality of the photos. I just snapped them with my iPhone in my office during lunch, so the lighting was really awful. I was going to shoot these outside but it has been stormy all day. Since...

    12.9” Smart Keyboard viewing angle too far back.

    I feel the tilt on the 12.9 Smart Keyboard is too far back for best viewing angle. Think it needs to come forward 1-2cm at least. Considering making some sort of wedge but would want to fix it to the case in a non-destructive way. Anyone thought the same or made a mod already? Ive got my 12.9”...

    I received my iPad Pro 10.5 Smart Keyboard this evening, and I attached and compared it to my 9.7in iPad Pro. It looks like there is a 1-2cm difference on all sides.The spine is also about 2-3 cm longer on both sides. This photo is the iPad Smart Cover 9.7 in directly on top of the 10.5in...
