  • Apple burns early iPad Pro adopters, loyal customers with Magic Keyboard incompatibility

    DRDCDRDC
    Add me to the “wanted to purchase but not anymore” crowd”. I refuse to pay an extra 25% when I have a less than a year old MK for my 2018 Pro. Regardless of whether or not you think it’s justifiable for customers to have to upgrade their accessories each time a new model is released, the way they’ve handled it is pretty shady. 

    It would’ve at least been easier to swallow if they added a new feature or something to differentiate the old and new MKs. Heck, even if they modified the USB-C port to handle power and data it would seem like I’m getting something in return for having to repurchase the accessory. 

    It’s also strange that they don’t explicitly state on the product page for the 2021 Pro that the only compatible MK is the “new” version. It seems like they’re going to have a lot of irate customers on their hands when they find out that fact the hard way after they receive it. If I hadn’t inadvertently stumbled across this thread I would’ve pulled the trigger on Friday too without knowing.
