It’s a few months later, and the Magic Keyboard has undoubtedly changed the way I use the iPad. But why does the Magic Keyboard even exist? Who is it for, and why do you need one?
In the video above, I have an in-depth look at the Magic Keyboard and why I think this is one of Apple’s strangest products to date.
What is the Magic Keyboard?
It’s a heavy product. It almost doubles the weight of your iPad to weigh nearly as much as a MacBook Air. It’s more of a dock for your iPad than a case as you can charge the iPad via USB C power pass-through by connecting the mains to the extra USB C port on the side of the keyboard.
It is by far the best typing experience on the iPad.
The iPad/keyboard combo is not very stable when you’re using it on your lap as all the weight is in the top part of the device, which means it can tip over backwards when you’re watching movies in bed. It seems as though Apple designed the Magic Keyboard for desk use primarily.
