Originally introduced alongside the M3 generation of iPad Air, Apple's current compatibility specification confirms that this keyboard works with:

• iPad Air 13-inch (M2)
• iPad Air 13-inch (M3)
• iPad Air 13-inch (M4)

and requires iPadOS 18.3 or later.

The Magic Keyboard attaches to the iPad Air magnetically and uses Apple's Smart Connector to transfer power and data. There is no conventional Bluetooth pairing procedure and no separate keyboard battery that needs to be charged. Attach the compatible iPad Air and the keyboard is ready to use. Apple explicitly describes the Smart Connector as providing immediate power and data connectivity.

A redesigned 14-key function row provides direct access to frequently used controls such as display brightness and volume, while the larger glass Multi-Touch trackpad brings cursor support and familiar iPadOS gestures to the keyboard experience.

The physical keys use Apple's scissor mechanism with 1mm key travel, providing a stable, responsive typing experience suitable for documents, emails, messages, spreadsheets and everyday productivity.

Its signature floating cantilever design holds the iPad Air magnetically above the keyboard and allows the screen angle to be smoothly adjusted to suit different desks, seating positions and viewing requirements.

A USB-C port is integrated into the keyboard's aluminium hinge. This provides pass-through charging for the connected iPad Air, allowing the iPad's own USB-C connector to remain available for another compatible accessory.

When closed, the Magic Keyboard folds around the iPad Air to provide front and back protection during transport, combining keyboard, trackpad, stand and protective cover functions in one accessory.
