Apple: Older Magic Keyboards are 'functionally compatible' with new 12.9" iPad Pro, but may not fit when closed

With the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro extra 0.5mm thickness over its predecessor, there has been concern that it won't work with older Magic Keyboards. But according to a new support document on the Magic Keyboard, it can work. The first-gen Magic Keyboards will be "functionally compatible." But because of the new tablet's thickness, Apple cautions that it's "possible" that it won't "precisely fit" when closed, especially if a screen protector is applied.

So, for iPad Pro users who still have the old Magic Keyboard and don't want to shell out the extra money for a new accessory, at least you have the option to use your existing one. The new 11-inch iPad Pro doesn't have the same issue as it comes in the same size as its predecessor.

Google Stadia for Web finally gets search

Google

Google Stadia is finally bringing search to the web this week. It will make it easier for you to search for your favourite titles. The Stadia team also says a new UI rolling out this week will make it easier to sort your library. It'll help you keep track of your purchased, free, and Pro games.

Aside from that, the Stadia team also teased upcoming features that will come to the service, including an activity feed where you can share your best video captures and help friends find your game states with State Share. It'll also be a way for you to find content from other players. Stadia will also let you directly access the service through an Android web browser instead of the app. And if you want to bulk delete captures, you'll be able to do so on the web soon.
