Apple promised us that preorders for the new iPad Air will start in October.

But here's a pro tip; you can already order the iPad Air 4th generation Magic Keyboard now.

This is because the Magic Keyboard for the 11 inch iPad Pro fits the footprint of the new iPad Air exactly.

That's because the new iPad Air has slightly larger bezels for the slightly smaller 10.9-inch display.

I've been using the 12.9-inch iPad Pro with the Magic Keyboard for 6 months and here's my honest review.

If you're new to the Magic Keyboard the first thing you'll notice is that it's really heavy. That's to help stabilise the heavy iPad floating above the keyboard.

The keyboard is one of the best I've ever used. It's better than any MacBook or any Smart Folio for the iPad. It's just amazing.

The trackpad is equally good. But the software is quite limiting which means that the mouse cursor emulates a finger or a touch instead of working like a real mouse cursor which makes it really hard to do real work. You'll basically need to re-learn the way you've used a mouse on a MacBook or PC in order to get the most out of the Magic Keyboard which is very disappointing.

The build quality is great at first. But after 6 months it's definitely showing it's age. And it's starting to break a lot faster than any of my previous Apple accessories. It's really surprising that it's breaking so fast after buying a £350 accessory. So if you're planning on getting one, be sure to put some extra money aside as it may break after only a short period of time. It's also surprising that this damage is happening during a period when it's mostly on my desk and hardly ever in a backpack. So it's definitely a disappointment on that front.

So, overall, I am happy with the iPad Pro Magic Keyboard. I can't say I'm blown away by something so expensive but it's good enough to make the iPad a little better than before. It's still absolutely NOT a PC or MacBook replacement because iPadOS is still too difficult to use for real work. And Apple puts too many limitations on the OS to force us to also buy a MacBook.

But, if you want a slightly better iPad, and the new colourful iPad Pro and you don't mind wasting money. I would say, go for it. It's definitely different and you'll love it for a while at least.
