The keyboard/trackpad then – depending on your model of iPad – snaps magnetically to the iPad’s Smart Connector or the Combo Touch protective case. Your iPad is shoved into a protective case with integrated kickstand. The Combo Touch (from £140) comes in two parts. However, the design is markedly different from Apple’s Magic Keyboard, resembling as it does a chunky take on a Surface Go 2. Logitech reportedly worked closely with Apple to get this keyboard case made, and it deftly handles the fancy trackpad/cursor functionality baked into iPadOS.

Note: Current-gen iPad Pro units are fractionally thicker than their predecessors, which led Apple to not list the new Magic Keyboard as compatible with previous-gen iPad Pros. It’s an audacious proposition, then, but also an undeniably premium experience that nails the modular nature of the iPad – and in a manner that no rivals quite match. The biggest catch, though, is the price: the Magic Keyboard costs as much as an iPad. And on the 11in model, your fingers bang against the tablet when accessing number keys, which presumably explains the lack of a media key row. On an incline, it’s top-heavy and liable to tip over backwards. It’s heavy: along with the iPad, you’re verging on MacBook Pro territory.
