My new Brydge Pro+ will also be arriving either today or Monday and I will be using it for review as soon as I get it.
#Magic battery pro#
I am going to start mixing in using the Smart Keyboard Folio and the Brydge Pro to see how iPad Pro battery life compares directly while them. I have no issue using the MK without it on in good light if it will improve my battery performance. I use my work laptop without the keyboard backlight on unless I need it. Hopefully it will, because backlighting isn’t something I need all the time. I have manually turned the backlight on the Magic Keyboard all the down today to see if performance improves. That includes the Logitech Create and the Logitech Slim Combo, both of which have backlit keys and use the iPad Pro’s Smart Connector. However, what I am seeing isn’t normal in comparison with any iPad Pro keyboard case that I’ve ever used. Backlit keys have an impact on any battery, laptop or tablet. So what is the problem? Right now I assume that the Magic Keyboard’s backlight is playing a leading role, but I am getting into testing that out in more detail now. I was careful not to overstate the role of the Magic Keyboard in that post, but the data I have since clearly points to it being the primary culprit. For instance, the night that I posted that article, I dropped 50% of battery life during the course of my writing. I mentioned noticing diminished battery life in my previous installment in this series, but the more data I get, the worse things look. That is downright terrible performance that I don’t even see during gaming or watching movies. That time was split between working on an article and marking up some PDFs for work. You can see a good example highlighted in the chart above, which shows me dropping a massive 50% of battery life with only 2.5 hours of screen time on Thursday. However, that doesn’t change the fact that it is taking a major toll on my iPad Pro’s battery life right now. I’ll say right up front that I think my case may be the exception, rather than the rule with the Magic Keyboard.
