My Magic Keyboard on the newest iPad Pro 12.9 starting disconnecting repeatedly, requiring me to remove the IPad from the magnet and put it back on to connect to the keyboard again. I have updated the iPad OS and cleaned all connectors, but it is still happening. Is this an issue with the recent updates?
iPad Pro (6th generation)
Remove the iPad from the Keyboard - and carefully/gently clean the smart connector contacts on both the iPad and keyboard with a soft pencil eraser (a drafting-film eraser is ideal). Ensure that the contacts on both iPad and keyboard are dirt and dust free - and all debris from the eraser have been removed - before reconnecting the two.
If the problem persists, you might be well advised to seek assistance directly from from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page.
