Apple iPad Pro: Connect the keyboard - how it works
Apple wants to inspire even more people with the iPad Pro in the future and therefore lets you connect an optional keyboard, among other things. We explain how this works here.
How to connect the external keyboard to your iPad Pro
Apple is looking for simple and elegant solutions, including when connecting the smart keyboard - the name of the optional keyboard - to the new iPad Pro.
- Unlike its predecessors, the iPad Pro has, among other things, a new connection, the Smart Connector (see picture).
- Power and data are transmitted via this magnetic connection.
- To connect the keyboard, simply place the Smart Connector of the iPad Pro on its counterpart on the keyboard.
- iOS 9 automatically recognizes the connection and adapts directly to the keyboard that is now connected.
This is just one of several innovations that the iPad Pro should inspire. In our direct comparison of iPad Pro with iPad 2, you can see what else is in store for you.
