    Billions of dollars in R&D money and Apple still can't figure out that we all want the MacOS on the iPad Pro. SMH!
    Sorry but you’re not seeing what Apple sees. Given their enormous success so far with their vision for the iPad I’m thinking they know what they’re doing. BTW, I’m not part of the “we all” as I do not want macOS on the iPad.

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

    Not having the new iPad Pro with the old Magic Keyboard in hand, how the heck do you know that there’s any “Burn”ing going on. Maybe it’s the case but this is pure speculation on your part and I see no “Opinion” in the headline and walking back your initial statement with “To be fair” is insufficient.

    More e-waste? I guess Apple had to do what it did to bring the awesome screen to iPad.  So I’m not upset at all, but some existing owners of magic keyboards that  were planning to upgrade might be a bit miffed that they now have to purchase a whole new “magic” keyboard. Where’s the magic if the existing one doesn’t work with new devices? 
    The magic is the money leaving your wallet.

    That keyboard/trackpad combo was already outrageously priced to begin with.  Apple would be making bank on it if they sold it for $50.  And now they pull the old "new model doesn't work with old model" stunt, and get to charge the suckers again.

    Apple's current keyboards aren't even any good.  The key travel is too short, it makes for seriously uncomfortable typing.  I'm typing this on a 2012 MacBook Pro, it's right beside a 2018 MacBook Air.  The keyboard difference is night and day, the 2012 has a great keyboard, the 2018 is awful.
    Clueless. Apple cannot sell the Magic Keyboard (and Trackpad) for $50...you're living in a dreamworld, lad. Even the competitors are pricey, and notably in the reviews don't work as well. The MK scored very well in the reviews because it's a solid piece of engineering. Plenty of other options if you don't want one tho. Very happy with mine which gets daily use.

    I also have the new desktop MK, and disagree about Apple keyboards. It' great, and I work on it all day. I don't have a 2018 MB so can't say there, but the reviewers of the current MBs say they like them again.
    It is a well engineered keyboard but $350 is still ridiculous for what you are getting.  It probably cost them less than $20 to make. 
    If it costs them $20 then why hasn’t a third party keyboard maker come out with one for $50?
