Question about Apple iPad 2025 (11th gen)

The iPad 2025 (11th Gen) with 11-inch display and Wi-Fi only supports the Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation or later) and the Magic Keyboard Folio, which features a detachable keyboard and protective back cover. Both keyboards connect magnetically and offer a comfortable typing experience with backlighting and USB-C pass-through charging.

As an Apple Pencil, the 2nd generation Apple Pencil is compatible as the iPad 2025 utilises the Apple A16 Bionic processor and iPadOS 18, which is the same as the Apple Pencil 2 (this is the standard compatibility for iPads of this generation).

Inexpensive alternatives to the Apple keyboard and stylus are available from third-party suppliers who offer Bluetooth keyboards and capacitive stylus pens. These are often cheaper, but do not offer the full integration and functions of the Apple Magic Keyboard or the Apple Pencil 2. For keyboards, Bluetooth models that are compatible with iPadOS are suitable, and for pens, capacitive stylus pens that allow basic writing and drawing.

Summary:
- Apple Magic Keyboard (11-inch) and Magic Keyboard Folio are compatible and offer magnetic attachment, backlighting and USB-C pass-through.
- Apple Pencil 2 is the matching Apple Pencil for this iPad.
- Inexpensive alternatives are Bluetooth keyboards and capacitive stylus pens from third-party providers, but with more limited functions.
