Is there really not a Smart Folio Keyboard for the new iPad Pro 11in?

Well dang, apparently they killed it? I honestly think that legit would make upgrading to the new one from my 2018 iPad Pro a downgrade for my needs?

What a strange decision. I guess maybe it wasn’t as popular as I would have assumed it was?

Goodbye to Apple’s Smart Keyboard Folio, the best iPad Pro accessory

Apple no longer offers a lightweight keyboard folio for the OLED iPad Pro, leaving the bulkier Magic Keyboard as the only option — and a very expensive one.

@charliemchapman The keyboard folio was also my preferred keyboard. I’ve never liked that with the Magic Keyboard you can’t lay the iPad flat unless you take it out of the case.

@harrisonheinig @charliemchapman I’m a really big fan of the Logitech combo touch. More protection than any of the Apple ones, keyboard is detachable for tablet mode but you can still use the stand and it’s really good quality.

@david do you have any issues with the keyboard coming off when you slide it into a bag?

@harrisonheinig I don’t think that’s ever happened. It’s a pretty strong hold.
