Hello...

I am using my IPP 11 now and thinking about getting a new 12.9. I am debating whether to get a new MK. Normally, I do not buy AC+ nowadays for anything except for my Airpods Pro and AW. Knowing how fragile the MK is (my Smart Keyboard Folio is not holding up that well), I know that if I get a MK, I need to get an AC+. My purchase will be likely one of the two options:

1) Just IPP with Pencil
2) IPP with Pencil + MK & AC+

Can anybody recommend if these options are possible for me?

1) Buy an iPad with Pencil now, but within a year decide to get a MK and AC+
2) Buy an iPad with Pencil and AC+ now, and add a MK later - much later like a year or longer as long as the AC+ is still valid and add MK, will the AC+ cover the MK? I am still using my MBP, but maybe in a year or longer maybe I need to get a MK, but I want to make sure it will be cover under AC+

I would love to hear your experience / suggestions

Thanks!

Yes, AppleCare+ will temporarily cover it.

just get a stand and a bluetooth mouse/keyboard, it's a so much nicer experience
