Question about iPad Pro 2021 (5. Gen) - 390494
Dear community 1st question: Will there really be a new Magic Keyboard with the 2021 iPad Pro 12.9, i.e. the old ones are not compatible? 2nd question: Will there be a new Pencil (3rd generation) in the foreseeable future? I would be annoyed to buy the 2nd generation now and tataaa, in June or July the 3rd generation would come. Thanks and greetings
Helpful answer
1. yes, there will be a new MagicKeyboard. The new MagicKeyboard is supposed to be backwards compatible with the 2020 generation, but the 2020 model cannot hold the new IpadPro 2021 because the slight deviations in the dimensions overtax the maximum load of the hinges. The deviation is about 0.5 mm... (www.theverge.com/2021/4/23/22399095/apple-12-9-inch-ipad-pro....)
2 No confirmed data is available yet, but "leaks" have already been published that point to a new Applepencil gen 3. However, this is not likely to appear for a few months (if at all).

Apparently it is compatible after all. The differences are visible, but not very restrictive.
