Keyboards Apple Magic Keyboard (2021) and Apple Magic Keyboard (2015) have a lot in common, including Bluetooth connectivity and low-profile keys with an island-style layout. However, the main difference lies in their compatibility and functionality. The 2021 model is designed exclusively for iPad Pro and iPad Air, connecting via the Smart Connector, making it incompatible with other devices. Meanwhile, the 2015 model supports Bluetooth and can be used with any devices on macOS, starting from OS X 10.11. It is also worth noting that both keyboards have a similar battery life of about 30 days, but the Magic Keyboard (2021) offers a more modern design and improved materials. Overall, the choice between these models depends on your needs: if you use an iPad, the 2021 version is preferable, while the 2015 version is suitable for universal use.
