IPad A1673 doesn’t recognize Smart Keyboard since latest iOS update, unless I restart my iPad. And I have to do this each time my iPad goes to sleep, and I come back to it.
Also my iPhone XS is suddenly much slower, also with latest iOS update.
Both devices were working just fine before the updates.
Smells of planned obsolescence? Anyone else encountering this issue?
To my knowledge, an A1673 (iPad Pro 9.7" 1st generation) only supports these keyboards:--> https://www.apple.com/shop/ipad/accessories/keyboards?page=1&f=ipadpro_9_7&fh=35d5%2B470f .
What keyboard model are you using? What iPadOS version is currently running on it?
That said, try a forced restart of your device, using these instructions:
and/or, reset network settings using the instructions provided here:
Reset Network Settings: All network settings are removed. In addition, the device name assigned in Settings>General>About is reset to “iPad,” and manually trusted certificates (such as for websites) are changed to untrusted. Cellular data roaming may also be turned off. (See View or change cellular data settings on iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular models).)
When you reset network settings, previously used networks and VPN settings that weren’t installed by a configuration profile or mobile device management (MDM) are removed. Wi-Fi is turned off and then back on, disconnecting you from any network you’re on. The Wi-Fi and Ask to Join Networks settings remain turned on.

If the issue still persists, make an appointment (*) and have your device inspected at an Apple Store or AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) among this list:--> Apple – Location Selector. After checking it out, they'll give you all the available options.
