> App creators will be quite motivated to support Magic Keyboard and improve interactions via shortcuts
I'm skeptical about just how many users will adopt an iPad as their primary productivity device. Of course, there are a huge number of iPads in the world, but how many of those are iPad Pros compatible with the magic keyboard? And how many of those users are 'power users' looking to improve their experience using shortcuts?
I still feel the device has been quite niche and expensive, and therefore adoption has been proportionally low. I don't expect companies to feel the need to support iPad until Apple makes an inexpensive 'iPad Pro' type device, there simply is too much fragmentation in the product line at the moment.

- johannes1234321 6y agoConsidering that Apple just this week anounced to essentially consolidate iOS and MacOS (moving MacOS devices to ARM and adding capability to run iOS apps) in a near future the boundraries between iPad Pro and MacBook will diminish and work on a hybrid will be the norm. (Windows 8 was just a few years early, missed the proper mobile device and had too many compromises)
