Questions & Answers for Apple Wireless Keyboard - French

YES; well sort of.

Apple released the current wireless keyboard (Model number: A1255) in (I believe) 2009, however this is a revised (but cosmetically identical) version of the previous model (A1314) which was released in (again, I believe) 2007.

The only difference between the old and new revised model is that the old model required 3xAA batteries and doesn't work with handheld devices like the iPad and iPhone, due to it using a different bluetooth signal I think?

The current model only requires 2xAAs and does indeed work with iPhones, ipads and your Mac/PC.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your response. I did end up getting it, and did some testing (I'm using it right to to reply to this, actually) and I am VERY pleased over all.
Excellent response and feel.
Lightweight, small and thin, but extraordinarily easy to use.

I kept the iPad on for 24 hours with the Bluetooth turned off and hardly used it at all. At the end of the day I had 98% battery life left.

I kept the iPad on for 24 hours with the Bluetooth turned off and used it off and on all day - not excessive use. At the end of the day I had about 76% battery life left.

Result: Negligible effect is well worth it.

it is built right into the ipad, so you would go into settings,turn on bluetooth and it would work with your keyboard you do not have to get anything extra

Just to clarify, the keyboards from Apple are Bluetooth, not WiFi. The Apple Wireless Keyboard does work with iPad Mini. Hard to get precise dimensions on the net as people report different sizes and don't use metric, which means that they are generally less specific. 15 x 5 inches-ish seems to be about average from what I can see. Now why don't Apple just list the dimensions on the product info page?! Would also be nice if dimensions info posted was in metric!

Yes, you can! With iOS4.

Yes to both - Use the MacBooks bluetooth to connect either or both to your laptop. This is very common and works very well. Try adding a 2nd larger monitor as well to get the best of both worlds - desktop benefits with portability when needed.
