According to iGeneration, the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro will not be compatible with the older generation Magic Keyboard due to the slight increase in the thickness of the device.
Citing a document provided by the Apple Store, the source notes that the new iPad Pro is 0.5mm thicker than the previous 12.9-inch model. Due to the increased thickness, the new iPad will not work with the older generation Magic Keyboard.
While the increase in thickness is small at just 0.5mm, that’s enough to prevent the new iPad Pro from closing properly when used with a previous generation keyboard.
