I have a first generation iPad Pro (MTXU2LL/A) I bought in 2018. I just purchased a new smart folio cover for it (2/2025) which appears identical to the old one. However, the auto on/off function does not work when I open & close the new cover. Did they move the magnet location?
iPad Pro, iPadOS 18
Caveat Emptor.
Apple publishes explicit compatibility information for all of its Accessories. If your iPad model is not explicitly listed in the Smart Folio Cover specifications, it will not be fully compatible with your iPad.
While iPad models may appear to be similar, there are often invisible technical differences. Sensor locations, including the hall-effect (magnet) sensor (used to detect opening or closing of a compatible cover) may differ between models. As such, many current model accessories may not be compatible with older devices.
