it is designed/integrated to be used with the newer 2018,/2020 iPad Pro models and the new 2020 iPad Air 4.

The smart keyboard connections are in a completely different location and there are magnets in the Magic Keyboard case that line up with magnets in the 2018/2020 iPad Pro and 2020 iPad Air 4 models to hold these iPads to the Magic keyboard iPad mounting shelf.

In addition, your 6th gen iPad is a much smaller 9.7 inch screen model.

The newest iPad Pro models are 11 and 12.9 inch screens and the 10.9 inch screen of the 2020 iPad Air 4.

Your iPad and the 7th and 8th gen iPad screens are too small and use the older iPad design language from the past 6-7 years!


The Magic keyboard is completely incompatible with older iPad models including the 6th, 7th and 8th gen iPad models.



Sorry
