This is the best video on comparing the old vs new keyboard for the M1 iPad Pro. What convinced me to get the new version was that gap comparison. Thanks for sharing this in-depth comparison.
Awesome video. I have not seen any reviewers on UA-cam discuss the new Magic Keyboard in such detail. It’s nice to know that improvements were made (stiffer hinge, stronger magnets) compared to the previous generation. Unfortunately Apple rarely goes into detail about newly released products. That is the reason why everyone who purchased the previous generation was upset because they couldn’t see or tell what the differences were.
The design of the new Magic Keyboard accommodates screen protectors without any issues. However, using the older Magic Keyboard with a screen protector can prevent the iPad from closing correctly. Depending on how you store your iPad, this could put undue pressure on the screen.
Thanks. I went with the old keyboard for my new 2021 iPad Pro. The old magic keyboard is on sale today for $199 at Best Buy. Functions the same and I get to keep $150 in my pocket
Thanks for information. I have just purchased a new iPad Pro 12.9 inch fifth generation 2021 😊 but haven’t yet purchased a case. I decided a magic keyboard was a good idea but then discovered apples 2020 version half the price of latest 2021 version. So I had been wondering what to do. You have helped answer my frustrating conundrum 😊 I’m getting the 2021 version.
Nice video for Apple product owners. Hey ZY!! perhaps another reason for getting the new magic something even if the old works ok is a mild case of GAS ? 👌😀 I am also GAS afflicted at times 👍😁
Is there a black version of the 2021 magic keyboard? I went to website and even called apple's customer's service, they all responded me with "the specs of the two colors are exactly the same", which is different from the result of your review. I prefer the spec of the 2nd gen of MK, but also prefer the black color, so I'm stuck now
I called Apple customer service and they told me the black version they’re selling is the latest version like the white MK, but if you buy it from other sellers like Amazon and Ebay u may get the previous version.
Every video I've seen seems to intimate that the 2021 MK is white whereas the 2020 one is black, but I've just bought a 2021 M1 iPad Pro and a black MK, and I get the small gap and the slow closing.
Great video, glad I found it. Does the size of the case effect how the iPad gets charged when it is connected to the magic keyboard and is plugged into the usbc of the keyboard?
Great video. I have a question so I have the iPad 11” 2020. Should I get the apple magic keyboard 2020 or the newer version 2021. What is the best option?
He said it worked . Apple say it functions but track pad better on new one and space/ air gap between keys I feel is important for increasing lifespan of keypad and tablet plus magnets not as strong on old version due to slightly different placement
350 $ for "an elevated peace of mind" is a tall order if the old version kinda fits. I do understand the appeal of having the keyboard for the iPad, but at that cost? If you were to rely on using the tablet as a laptop that much, why not get...a MacBook? Anyway, for an accessory that only fits one generation of iPad properly, it is just waaaaay to expensive. All these device-specific accessories have that problem. I get wanting new tablets, phones and so on, but at least my GAS rarely extends to the stuff around the device. That should carry over.
I watched a dozen videos for this debate but only this video explains everything with detail and honestly. Thank you. (subscribed yours and unsubscribing others).

Thank you so much for putting this video together, it has helped me majorly in making my decision!!!
So glad i bought the white one i didnt even knew they changed something

I got that keyboard it’s still going strong after 3 years one of apples best products.
Good comparison. I using my old MK.
I have 2020 iPad Pro and the magic keyboard but I hadn’t noticed space between them until now 😂😂😂
Thank you for your video. Its was a breath of freshh air of truth and good investigating everything including the magnets! Great thinking!

I have 5th Gen iPad and Coverbuddy case. Will this still fit? I don’t really care if it’s a little bit bulky if it works.
Nice video for Apple product owners.

Hmm, how about the old ipads on the new keyboard? Does the gap very noticable?
Is the keyboard for 11 model also updated, especially the trackpad clicks and extra magnets, and this gap increase,? Or those were for 12.9 only?
how about 11inch M1 magic keyboard 2020 vs 2021?
Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Watching this on my 2018 ipad prom with the white version magic keyboard
Great video, glad I found it. Does the size of the case effect how the iPad gets charged when it is connected to the magic keyboard and is plugged into the usbc of the keyboard?
Hello brother ! Can you compare magic keyboard vs Logitech Combo Touch 5th gen ? Please
Great video. I have a question so I have the iPad 11” 2020. Should I get the apple magic keyboard 2020 or the newer version 2021. What is the best option?
Is the old iPad functional with the new keyboard
He said it worked . Apple say it functions but track pad better on new one and space/ air gap between keys I feel is important for increasing lifespan of keypad and tablet plus magnets not as strong on old version due to slightly different placement
Can you do a video on a lens with a f stop smaller than f22?
2.20 that has taken me n+1 times to understand =)
best comparison video I've seen, thanks!
If you put a screen protector and skin on the iPad it won’t close properly.
Have you tried?
@@AlejandroGonzalez-wg5bs yup
Tell us what you do on the iPad that justifies the M1, we will wait for such video
It’s future proof . Apps in future won’t be developed automatically for older versions. Plus it’s swift and perky 😊
For me it's future proof and I love gaming lol I paid £1800 for mine 🤣 hoping to keep it for at least 3 years
Watching this without an ipad pro
I just bought the 2020 magic keyboard for my M1 iPad Pro and it fits perfect
Do you use a screen protector with your iPad?
@@oki6097 yes I do
Is it a thick glass screen protector or one of the super flimsy thin paperlike ones?
@@hywel4767 it’s tempered glass
After a year of usage does the magic keyboard works fine with ur m1 ipad pro ?
Why I'm here ? I don't even have any apple products in my house.
