Every single time I type in a capital I, it changes it to something stupid, like this - I️ - or sometimes an A with a box or something. The button works because I can press a little x besides what it is trying to change it to and it won’t do it, but that’s very frustrating. Do you realize how many times you type I?

The predictive text is off. Is there something else that can be turned off to stop this from happening. I haven’t changed anything recently, and it just started doing it the last few days, but I’m about to throw this iPP through a window!

Time to take it to an apple store. Apple sent out a memo noting that there are real "functional issues" with the apple smartkeyboard (ASK), and have extended the warranty from 1 year to 3 years.

Secondly, if it was me, I would simply return it and get your money back if at all possible. I've read too many issues with it on the net. I would rather pick up the standard regular apple mac keyboard because it has (1) function keys (2) the up/down arrow is "normal." I hate the split up/down arrow keys on the smartkeyboard.

Problems with a popular accessory for iPad Pro tablets has prompted Apple to extend the free warranty for it.

The extended warranty is for Apple’s Smart Keyboard device that people can connect to their iPad Pro tablets to use to type instead of using the touch screen, according to a report this week by tech publication 9to5Mac. Under the warranty, people who bought a Smart Keyboard for either the 12.9- and 9.7-inch versions of the iPad Pro will be entitled to free repairs for up to three years instead of the usual one year.

Apple sent an internal memo to its retail store employees and partner service providers on Friday that said it discovered “functional issues” with the keyboards that need to be fixed, the report said. Some of the problems with the keyboard include sticky keys that cause repeat typing, connection errors, and unresponsive keys.

Apple currently offers a one-year warranty for all of its various devices and accessories. The new warranty extends the existing warranty for another two years to cover the Smart Keyboards.

Apple debuted its iPad Pro in 2015 as a more business-friendly tablet that, with the help of a detachable keyboard, makes it more suitable for the workplace—much like Microsoft’s

The 9.7-inch version of the Smart Keyboard sells for $150 while the larger model costs $170.
