iPad Pro
For the first time, Apple has produced its own magnetic smart keyboard for use with the iPad Pro. Unlike Bluetooth-enabled keyboards, it draws power from the iPad itself by snapping onto its magnetic 'smart connector' on the tablet's left-hand side, removing the need to charge it up separately.
