If you're talking about the 2nd gen pencil, if you go down to compatibility it lists 6th gen pros as compatible.

Not sure if anyone else caught the comment in the keynote, but I thought they said the logo is copper material. If I heard it right, maybe that has something to do with how the device is powered through the new keyboard. Was trying to find backside views where the pin connections were, but I can't find any pictures to confirm.
Arrgh forgot my education store discount. Have cancelled the iPad and reordered but the magic keyboard was already preparing to ship even though selected Sunday for delivery
.As well as being pleasantly surprised with the standard price the UK educational discount for staff seems decent too.
Is the discount still 10%?Arrgh forgot my education store discount. Have cancelled the iPad and reordered but the magic keyboard was already preparing to ship even though selected Sunday for delivery

Thanks, but 6th gen is referring to the M2 iPad Pro, not the new M4 11” and 13”.
Maybe that's true. But I find it ridiculous that a company as big as Apple cannot design their devices and accessories backward compatible. Apple knew going in they wanted these new iPad Pros designed specifically for a new keyboard and it's not as if the new iPads are radically different.
I know they are for-profit corporation... so, it was a business move. But I don't like it.
Glad to see the bump in base storage to differentiate the lineup a little more. Disappointed with the bump in pricing on the Pro lineup but with OLED coming I kind of anticipated it. Also disappointed that Apple continues to dick around with RAM options within the Pro lineup. On the one hand they brought back feature parity between the 11-inch and 13-inch models by way of display technology but on the other there's still a need to step up to 1TB/2TB models just to get certain things like more RAM and the nano texture display.
I didn’t want to make a separate thread for this but seeing lots of hands on. When could we expect reviews from YouTubers and such?
Am UK based and it isn't a standard 10%. There was £50 off an 11" Air so £699 down to £649, £100 off the entry spec pro (11" 256gb) which is 10% in that case. £20 off the magic keyboard and £30 off the new M4 Pro keyboard and £10 off the Apple Pencil Pro.
So ordered the Air at 4pm UK time and have come home tonight watched the presentation and got seduced by the lovely thin pro so have gone and ordered that too now (Black 11" wifi 256gb with new keyboard and pro pencil. Will decide if the Pro is worth it for me when they come next week and I get a play! I cannot be trusted not to over spend
Thanks. Apple have really watered down their discounts (education and other types) recently. I have now lost my education discount but find Costco to be an absolute gold mine now, often beating education discounts (sometimes it takes a few weeks/months to get there). I am holding firm until WWDC but I hope you enjoy your new goodies!Am UK based and it isn't a standard 10%.

$580 trade in for M2 12.9 Wifi/Cellular. I was very disappointed in that trade value.
I'd be very interested to learn whether you think the nano glass changes the writing experience at all, changing the need for a screen saver.
I am in UK discounts are below
£130 discount in total
iPad was £100
AC+ was £20
Pencil Pro was £10
Only £50 off the iPad Air.
Magic Keyboard for Air was less £20 and the M4 keyboard less £30.
Having spent the evening deliberating on whether my purchase was made on impulse, or not… I have ordered a second 13 but with 256GB and Standard Glass.
In doing so, I have saved over £700!
I will put them both side-by-side on Wednesday and try them for a couple of days and decide which I’m keeping and return the one I’m not.
ORDERED a Space Black 12.9 Pro 256 Gig, Black Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro...total 1930 and change with tax. Cant wait. Everything i wanted (Sans Magsafe but thats not really practical now is it?)
Here is my question though... Apple is billing me funny. I tripple checked my email and order, i ordered everything correctly but they are taking the money out of my account funny....
They Charged me 1551.17 first charge which is more then what the Ipad Pro should cost, then 140 for what i am assuming is the apple pencil...
I did not get the nano screen....
and they still havent charged me for the magic keyboard and my apple care is set up for monty charges.
Weird...i hope they dont cause me to overdraft. I just never seen them do it like that before!

Guess I’ll wait until they are available in stores - I won’t have an address on the 15th. At least I’ll be close to an Apple Store either the 15th or the 16th.
Sure wish the timing were a little better, but at least I’ll be near an Apple Store when they become available.

Funny, we are in the exact same situation. Moving and driving across the country, thinking about whether I can stop by an Apple store on my way...
What do you mean by 'functional keys'? The keys in the old keyboard worked - what does the new one do differently? I must have been paying attention to something else when they discussed the new keyboard.
They mentioned that the copper logo and graphite material as well are being used to conduct heat away from the chip.
