Apple Magic Keyboard For Ipad Air 4Th Generation

I considered the Apple Keyboard's for my new iPad Air 4th generation. I have had both brands before for earlier iPad's. This Logitech keyboard is in the same league as the Apple Smart Keyboard Folio (similar configuration), but has three very important features that are lacking on the Apple keyboard. 1. Backlit keys. 2. Top row of short-cut function keys. 3. Trackpad. So, for less money, you can have a keyboard with much more functionality.

Traded in 2nd generation 12.9 for this 4th generation 12.0 with magic keyboard. It’s more compact, but screen size is exactly the same as the older models......just no wasted space. Much lighter, and easy to carry around. Yes, spend the $$ and get the keyboard and it doubles as a case.

I bought this to replace the 5 1/2 year old Smart Keyboard for my 3rd generation iPad Pro. I used the old keyboard extensively with the iPad, eventually wearing it out. Given how much I enjoyed using the old keyboard and how long it lasted, it was an easy decision to replace it with essentially the same device. The only difference between the old and new keyboard is the size of the back camera opening, which is larger on this newer version. I also prefer this keyboard over Apple's Magic Keyboard because I can fold it back behind the iPad for reading a book, which the Magic Keyboard doesn't do.

This 4th generation iPad Air does what it's supposed to, and the 256 GB of storage helps a lot. The graphics are great, as is the performance in general. It's replaced my 2nd generation iPad, which was slow by modern standards and had only 16 GB of storage. So I suppose it's easy to see why I like the new iPad Air 4th generation so much (even though I had to get a HyperDrive dock to use my earphones with it). I'm sure the new iPad Pro is faster and all that, but if you can get by with less (and with a previous-gen processor), the iPad Air is worthy of consideration. (Whatever you do, buy a case or some kind of protection for your iPad. Skinny, slick and slippery, they are. . . .)

Our new 4th generation 64GB iPad air is a great compromise between the iPad Pro and the standard iPad. It has enough storage for a family images and apps situation. It has a faster processor and is speedier than the standard iPad and the price falls in the middle ground.

the new iPad Air 4th is so beautiful.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] have purchased a lot of covers for my iPad and this one was the only one that was a keeper. Compared to the Apple Magic Keyboard they both charge via the iPad port, but the keyboard on the Magic Keyboard is not removable which can lead to problems at times. Offers great protection and the keyboard functions just as an Apple branded product. Easy to link with your iPad and works right out of the box. Durable and more lightweight than a Magic Keyboard. Magnet strength is great hold the iPad tightly in place. At half the price if the Apple Magic Keyboard is a better investment. Great value and product!

The Magic Keyboard is a serious improvement over the original keyboard I purchased for my 2017 iPad Pro, and that was pretty good. But there's really no fair comparison, since the new model is backlit, can charge the Apple Pencil, and appears to be more durable. I like the typing action. Typically, for Apple products, it's pricey, but I feel strongly that I got my money's worth.

I purchased my iPad Air with the Apple Magic Keyboard. That keyboard is great for stationary use of the iPad (for sheer typing, it is better than the ZAGG and comes with a trackpad. However, I did not feel at all comfortable placing the iPad in a backpack with the Magic Keyboard; it did not protect the sides and the Apple Pencil was only secured by the charging magnet (it always came off during transport). With the ZAGG, the iPad is much more protected, and it secures the pencil to the case while also charging. The iPad can remain in the case, while either removed from the keyboard or reversed for use as a tablet. The Keyboard has a USB-C charging port, so an additional cord is not necessary (if only Apple would upgrade the iPhone to an USB-C…). It also holds a very long charge. If you travel a lot or frequently move your iPad, I highly recommend this keyboard.

It seems like with every generation of iPad Air Apple takes small steps in the right direction of manufacturing the perfect tablet.
