Would my iPad Air 4th generation accesorys work with any iPad Pro models?

Hello, I hope this is the correct place to ask this. A couple years ago I purchased an iPad Air 4th generation alongside an apple pencil and magic keyboard. Sadly my ipad no longer works but since the accesories do I was thinking of upgrading to a pro. Would the accesories still work with a different iPad? Thanks :)

Sorry, but try as I might, I could not find an Apple Magic keyboard with model number: A2261.


From what I provided you before, either the Apple Magic Keyboard or Apple Smart Keyboard Folio would be compatible to your 4th gen iPad Air ... so you would have to have one of these. You also should now know, from what I provided you, what iPad models would also be compatible with these keyboards.


For the Apple Pencil, again, I provided you with a link on which Pencils work with which iPads ... so, depending on which Pencil you have, you can determine what iPad models it works with. For the iPad Air 4G, the two compatible Pencils are: Apple Pencil (2nd generation) & the Apple Pencil (USB-C) models.
