And ideally, you want one that uses the Smart Connector of newer iPads, so no Bluetooth pairing and no keyboard charging is required. Presto: For a limited time and while stocks last, Best Buy has it again Apple Smart Keyboard Folio for iPad for $ 99. Regular price: $ 160. It is voted on Amazon if you prefer to buy there.
This version of the Apple keyboard is compatible with three models of the current generation: The iPad 10.2, iPad Pro 10.5 and iPad Air.
