iPhone 16e reviews are now out, and Apple's custom-designed C1 modem has been put to the test. The results so far are quite surprising, as the C1's speeds are not as slow compared to Qualcomm modems as originally expected. While the C1 does not support ultra-fast mmWave 5G in the U.S., it appears to offer comparable 5G performance to Qualcomm's Snapdragon X71 modem found in the iPhone 16,...

But no keyboard folio case? I mean that’s my go to… I have a magic keyboard for my 12.9 2-18 IPP, but use the keyboard folio whatever it’s called case every day, daily, all the time. Lighter, smaller, just what I need. Not having that, or only having it be some third party is a bummer.

Yeah, this one hurts a lot. The Magic Keyboard doesn't address any Pencil use scenarios; it's purely to turn the iPad into a laptop. Not making a keyboard folio is a massive oversight and I hope a third-party company steps into the void.

Is it still screen cover-side down when propping your iPad on a table?

U know, the felt part that covers the screen? Is that the part that comes into contact with the table surface potentially covered and crumbs and other abrasives? U know, the part of the folio that then picks ups said abrasives and proceeds to rub them into your iPad screen once folded closed?

When will the insanity end? ;_;

No Smart Folio keyboard, no care. I much prefer its lighter weight and smaller footprint vs. the Magic Keyboard. Big miss IMHO. I have a MacBook and don't want to turn my iPad Pro into a laptop. Guess I'll keep the 2022 12.9.

So the "thinnest iPad ever" has the folio that adds bulk to both sides of the iPad, like the folio for the iPad 10? ? I hate this design choice.
