that’s correct:

In case you have one of these old keyboards (I have one in storage myself) which really has no fn key, here is some info:

Can... can I ask for a picture of your Apple keyboard? I think its impossible to get a keyboard from Apple without a FN key, it's like a PC manufacturer shipping a keyboard without a windows key entirely.

If you got an "Apple Keyboard" from a third party claiming its original it may be fake.

So what exactly does your keyboard have in place of the fn key shown below?

Thank you for the picture in advance.

For the record, both external Apple keyboards (purchasable on Apple.com) both have Fn keys:
