elaboration:
this is the $349 โMagic Keyboard for iPad Proโ which
compared to a $149 โMagic Keyboard:โ
the first version of this product was unveiled alongside the first generation iPad Pro - as if Apple could not consciously sell a โprofessionalโ-ish computer without a physical keyboard.
it also symbolizes iPadOSโ split off of iOS - which took all the Bluetooth keyboard support docs with it.
soโฆ basically, this object represents everything I have been working against this year lol.
HOWEVERโฆ I could not honestly look my mother in the face and tell her I could come up with a more succinct keyboarding solutionโฆ especially in the midst of an already big shift (MacOS/MBP-iPad Pro as primary work machine.)
