The day I ordered there were other selections in the drop down menu with the 5th gen as the other option which I took. The web site has changed, the drop down menu only shows 5th gen 12.9 or 11 inch 3rd gen. I’m only going to go by what an Apple rep just told me on the phone, that they had not relabeled any products since there are currently no 5th gen devices for sale. Since all the existing Apple and 3rd party cases/keyboards are shown as 5 th gen compatible and the only difference in the keyboards is that the iPad hangs elevated above the keyboard in that one device, I would assume weight and some change in the magnets are responsible for the few reports that have been noted on the forum. To me that just means that you should be careful to avoid knocking it around but that you’ll have no issue using it, nor closing it I suspect. So that principally leaves the possibility that a change in the magnet system along with the additional 50 or so grams of weight will leave the combo less stable than the previous iPP and MKB combo. 5mm extra girth I would expect that to also affect this Smart Keyboard Folio. The magnet attachments on this “5th” gen folio also appear to be identical, but I’m no magnet expert. It also means that wherever these reports that the current MKB is not compatible are coming from it’s not because of the camera position or size, they’re identical. So point one, anyone who currently has one of these will be good to go if they order the 5th gen device. I ordered it from Apple under the 5th gen menu tab, however as shown in the photo below there is no 5th gen label only 3rd and 4th gen. If it does work as I suspect I’ll keep it and she’ll get this new Samart Keyboard. My wife will be getting my 2018 3rd gen iPad Pro along with my Magic Keyboard if it does not work with the new 5th gen iPP. ![]() I just received my “5th” gen 12.9 Smart Keyboard Folio. ![]()
