Ipad Pro Battery Life With Magic Keyboard. I wrote for hours a day using the Folio and when you consider that the iPad Pro has a projected battery life of 10 hours with expected use that drain didnt ever seem particularly drastic. The iPad Pro normally should boast a battery life of around 10 hours for everyday tasks like writing or using the internet.
I closed the iPadmagic keyboard so it was on standby mode with screen off which should have hardly any impact on battery. While the jury is still out on whether this is a software.

Sadly after all these years my first buyer beware moment with apple.
Some battery draw is to be expected but the same goes for the Smart Keyboard Folio and thats been just fine. If you have a newer iPad Pro the Magic Keyboard is the best keyboard. Reportedly after using a second Magic Keyboard the iPad Pros battery life has improved and is more in line with Apples 10-hour estimate. That suggests that the Magic Keyboard is having an unexpectedly outsize.
