i don't think so since the older Pros are a little thicker. I mean it may fit but it probably wont close all the way without damaging the hinge

"feels just like using a MacBook." Just buy a MacBook then, seriously Apple, I love my iPad but hopefully WWDC sorts iPadOS out.
Nope, the accessory lineup is now a bigger mess than the iPad lineup was. Nothing new or old for the accessory will work with each other.
In terms of price: MacBook Air 512GB + iPad = iPad Pro 512GB + new MKB
I'd say for 90+% of people the left side of the equation is a no brainer better value.

Ok, but that’s the point — I don’t want a MacBook, I want an iPad. To me, this is obviously more expensive.
I was wondering how they managed to fit in a larger trackpad and function keys. Interestingly, it looks like the bottom hinge part goes directly vertical instead of leaning forwards like the last model. Due to the lighter weight maybe?
iPad Pro with 512gb, Magic Keyboard and pencil without applecre+ cost just 50$ less than a M3 MacBook Pro with 16GB /1TB. In Sweden.
IPad : 2632$
MBP : 2679$

That price was offensive too.
Agree. I prefer the iPad over a MacBook because I can detach the keyboard when I’m lying in bed or on the sofa. A touchscreen is better for that. Then dock when at a desk. Surprising the amount of people that struggle to understand this.
For that price, they could've made the keyboard out of an iPad 10.
Escape key gives me hope. Just dual boot Mac OS already.
That keyboard (in Euro) costs as much as my iPad 3 cost back in the day 
This not being compatible with the Air is the disappointment from today. No doubt it's due to the weight but this means the Air is stuck with no function keys, even the base iPad gets them
Probably not since the iPads are a different size than the last model in all dimensions.
I've been waiting for them to upgrade the keyboard. The 10th gen iPad keyboard had a function row and the Pro didn't before.
That’s precisely why. The iPad is lighter and base is now heavier. Allowing the back to tilt back farther, opening up all that room for function keys and trackpad space
You have no idea what you are talking about. Yes, you can get an ok keyboard for < $100 but those of us who spend all day typing spend a lot more than that on a keyboard. Just the shell of mine (no key caps or switches) was $100. Once everything was said and done it was closer to $300 and I have a keyboard that will last me many years and functions the way I need it to.
Not sure how good this keyboard is but I am sure there will be people who see a benefit to its design.
Nope. Nothing announced new will work with older iPad pros. And nothing old will work with the new ones. A mess of an accessory lineup now
Apple's logic for the post pc era:
The iPad + keyboard case cost more than a MacBook Air.
My problem:
If you use an iPad with keyboard 80-90% of the time, then honestly you don't really need an iPad.
Forget, see answer above
how about the reverse? will the old Magic Keyboard work on the new iPad Pro?
