iPad Magic Keyboard

does the magic keyboard 11inch charge the iPad Air 4 through pass through charging when the keyboard is connected? Has anyone tried it before with their iPad Air 4 and keyboard? My iPad charger port doesn’t work anymore and it is more affordable to buy a used magic keyboard to charge it for now till i can save enough money for Apple to fix it or Best Buy

iPad Air, iPadOS 15

I have the Magic Keyboard with an iPad Pro 12.9in. The answer to your question is a YES. You can charge your iPad when the Magic Keyboard is connected to it and by using the Magic Keyboard's charging port.

NOTE that the keyboard's port cannot be used for any data transfer. It is strictly for charging the iPad. The Magic Keyboard, of course, does not require any charging because it uses power from the iPad through the pin connector in the back.
