Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
I cannot keep my Smart Keyboard working. I bought new keyboards, thinking that maybe the others had worn out. Still same problem. I disconnect and reconnect my keyboard at least a dozen times a day. It is beyond annoying. What is the fix????

This is ridiculous. I have to remove and replace the keyboard at least 20 times a day. Clearly this is an Apple issue.
