No.

It is NOT designed for older iPad Pro models due to the location of the magnetic, smart keyboard connector on older iPad Pro models is in a completely differnt location.

The 2020 Magic Keyboard has its smart keyboard connector aligned with where is it now on the 2018 and 2020 iPad Pro models, which is on the backcase/chassis of the iPad Pro and not on a side edge, like it is on older iPad Pro models.


Tap and look at the compatibility list for the new 2020 Magic Keyboard.

It is ONLY for 2018 and 2020 iPad Pros.


Sorry.


You need a 2018/2020 iPad Pro to use the new keyboard cover

It’s the way it is.
