Also, they officially support a keyboard for iPad Pro. With recent multitasking updates for iPad and considering positive reviews for the keyboard, the Pro seems to be a serious contender for laptop replacement.
Recently got a Pro 10.5, and it's a fantastic device — seriously considering a keyboard for office work.
- AckSyn 9y agoiOS has supported keyboards for a very long time. right back to when they first sold their 30-pin to USB "camera" adapter. You could definitely plug in a keyboard and use it.
- saagarjha 9y agoYep, and pairing a Bluetooth keyboard would work as well! I knew many people who carried around an iPad and a Magic Keyboard to use together.
- Roboprog 9y agoE.g. - this comment, via a Bluetooth keyboard on my iPad mini 2 :-) Missing is the ability to use a mouse to supplement touch, which I could do on my Android tablet before it died.
- comex 9y agoNot just that, the first iPad had an official "keyboard dock" accessory - a desktop-style keyboard with a built-in iPad stand and 30-pin connector: https://www.cnet.com/products/apple-ipad-keyboard-dock-series/review/ https://www.cnet.com/products/apple-ipad-keyboard-dock-serie... (For the record, this was in 2010, the same year the camera adapter you mentioned was released, as well as OS support for Bluetooth keyboards.)
- AckSyn 9y agoOh wow, I'd forgotten I have one of those, too!
- yvsong 9y agoDoes any one see the prospect of Xcode on iPad pro?
- collinmanderson 9y agoThis is my metric. Can I develop iOS apps using iOS? Until then, I'm sticking to Mac. (Actually, I'm a web developer, so what I really would need is full dev tools on iOS Safari.)
