- Hey guys, it's Justine
and today we're checking out
the brand new Magic Keyboard for the iPad.
(chill music)
This thing looks incredible.
I'm so excited to unbox it.
So let's not even talk about unboxing.
Let's just unbox.
I am so excited to try this thing out
because I have been using my iPad
so much more than I have ever used an iPad ever before.
(loud sniffing)
Oh, smells like a cinnamon roll.
(gasping)
Look at that magnetic hinge.
This has a full keyboard, a trackpad,
and it has pass-through charging via USB-C
on the side here.
This is something that I'm so excited about
because the placement on the iPad
when you're trying to charge it and do work
is extremely inconvenient.
So here's the new iPad Pro.
Let's pop this thing on there.
This has the smart connector and it's magnetic.
So it should just pop right into place.
That's it.
We did it!
One of the things,
when I was working on the iPad review originally,
if you guys wanna check that out,
I put a link in the description,
is Apple kept talking about all the things
that you can do with your iPad.
You can do podcasts, you can do video editing,
and I was watching all of these little commercials,
and I was thinking to myself,
"Okay, you're saying we can do this
"but can we?"
So I challenged myself
to only use my iPhone and my iPad to edit a vlog
and it was actually a really great experience
and from that,
I've realized how much that I can do with this
that I'd never had even thought was possible before.
And since I've been using my iPad so much,
I have been looking forward
to this Magic Keyboard more than ever,
mostly because, one, it does have a trackpad,
two, the full keyboard which feels incredible,
and this viewing angle.
This is gonna make such a huge difference
in so many different situations
because whenever you're using this iPad case,
you only have two options.
Those options usually work out pretty well
but for some of the scenarios
that I'm gonna show you guys,
this is going to work out so much better.
I love that this doesn't actually touch the bottom.
So it really is a floating screen
and it looks so good.
Just take a, just look at that.
You just gotta.
Does it look this good on camera
as it does with my own eyes?
Let me type something.
It honestly just feels like the new MacBooks.
So obviously, the iPad hasn't completely
replaced my computer
because I do still use Final Cut to edit,
I need Photoshop,
and I do a lot of stuff on there
that the iPad still can't do.
But for all of the normal things
that I would be using my laptop for around the house,
I have not even touched it really at all,
because if I'm doing anything here at home,
I'm gonna be editing on my Mac Pro,
I walk around my house all day long just holding this,
because I never know
when I'm gonna need it or wanna use it.
So this is me.
With various different sweatpants.
And here's my iPad.
Here's me.
One of the things that I love so much about the new iPad
is the fact that I'm able to use an SD card with a USB-C.
And I can actually take the files off this camera right now,
put it into here,
and get it onto my iPad immediately.
So this is kind of a normal setup for me.
I have footage usually everywhere,
SD cards from cameras, external drives,
and also from my phone.
The GNARBOX can also be used wirelessly
but since I have a free USB-C slot,
we're gonna put it to use.
Right now I'm using the pass-through charging
because I forgot to charge my iPad last night.
Usually it does have pretty good battery life
but if I'm doing some intense editing
I wanna have it plugged in while we're importing footage
just to make sure nothing gets lost.
LumaFusion is a really great video editor on the iPad.
It feels like Final Cut
but it's on your iPad, you can touch it.
And now with the Magic Keyboard,
having this trackpad,
I can't even tell you
how many times I've called this iPad a computer or a laptop.
It's a lot.
Even in the short time
that I have been using this Magic Keyboard,
I can't stress enough how incredible it is.
I know the price is a little bit on the more expensive side,
especially for something like this and an iPad accessory.
But it has significantly changed the way
that I'm able to use this thing
and I cannot recommend it enough.
(upbeat electronic music)
This is my gaming setup.
How I've been using the iPad
is I'm using it as a monitor
to make sure that I'm still in frame
and we're still recording the gameplay.
It's nice because everything is very central.
So I don't have to stop playing
to make sure that I'm still recording.
I can also use it as a second display,
so if I have like a chat window or something open,
I can put that here.
Right now I'm just using it
as a mirror display for the iMac.
Hello, can anybody hear me?
Where do you guys wanna drop is the question.
I'm playing solo,
so I don't have anyone on my team.
Oh, come on now.
I just frickin' started the game.
Give me a second.
Come on.
Do not even.
I am all alone, running through the middle.
I'm gonna get sniped so quickly.
Unless nobody's paying attention.
(upbeat electronic music)
- What does the pink mean?
- Those are the different levels of compression.
What we're gonna be talking about today
is our podcast setup.
So we're both running GarageBand,
we're both gonna be recording using the HypeMiC
and what's really cool about the HypeMiC
is this will kind of act as an audio interface.
So when people are like,
"But the iPad doesn't have a headphone jack."
This will give you a headphone jack
and you can monitor with zero latency
through this as well.
So it's kind of cool.
And then you're gonna airdrop me your audio
and I'm gonna drop it into mine.
We also could be using your iPhone.
So if you didn't have an iPad,
you could use your iPhone.
I'm also using the new Magic Keyboard with this.
It's amazing because for something like this,
where we are using accessories,
Magic Keyboard has pass-through charging,
so we're able to charge through USB-C.
And since Jenna is using the old iPad,
actually this is the new smart keyboard.
As you guys can tell on the back of here,
there's a larger cutout for the camera.
But since the iPad is still the same size,
you can use both of these with each iPad.
Are you ready, Jenna?
- I am ready.
We've been prepping for the past six years for this.
- I mean I feel like
I've been prepping my entire life for this.
(upbeat electronic music)
Hey guys, it's Justine. - And I'm Jenna.
- [Justine] We're doing a freaking podcast.
- [Jenna] I cannot believe it.
- [Justine] Yeah, I do,
because this is the 15th time we've done this intro.
We don't know what this is gonna become
or if it's ever gonna be anything
or if we're ever gonna do it again.
- We can always talk about it
and see if they like it.
Are we gonna be editing this?
- Light editing.
- Light editing. - So don't mess up.
Also there's a lot of echo in this room
and I'm well aware of it.
This is honestly just a test.
So this is version one.
This is a beta. - It is version one.
- It's a beta test of "Small Brain."
- It is, we're learning.
I thought it was "Same Brain?"
- "Same Brain," what did I just say?
- I had an incredible dinner last night.
I think that mugs should have this on both sides,
like the handle on both sides
'cause what if,
another relative, relative?
- Relative? - Relatable.
- Jenna's relatable.
- Another relatable topic.
- What is, what is the?
- What's the name? - What is the?
Oh my gosh, what's the name?
I can't even think.
Okay, anyway either way.
- I recycle it. - No, no, no.
You leave the rotten turnips out
and then you get ants.
All right, I think we're done now.
- I'm sweating. - Honestly,
I could keep talking probably for quite a long time
but since this is just a test,
I need to put maybe like some felt
on the bottom of this cup.
(upbeat electronic music)
So now, we'll do a Group FaceTime call with Tyler and Jenna.
We're working on the video
that you guys are watching right now
and we're using this app called Postlab.
So that's how we're able to remote edit.
So all three of us are working on this project
at the same time.
So I'm gonna call them.
Hello, it's me checking in.
Jenna!
Hi!
- Hello. - Okay, we're waiting.
We're waiting for Tyler to answer.
- Okay, hold on. - Hopefully.
- [Jenna] Let me turn on my lights.
- [Justine] Oh my gosh, there he is.
- [Tyler] I forgot about this meeting.
- That's okay, that's okay, that's okay.
So Jenna's gonna be editing the podcast part.
Tyler has, what have you got so far?
- [Tyler] I'm working on the assembly edit
and sort of stringing everything out,
getting everything organized,
and then the-- - Okay.
Jenna, I feel like because you were in
a lot of the podcast part.
So if you wanna. - Yeah.
- Start editing that,
then you'll be able to make any changes you want.
And then I'll go in
and start maybe doing some slo-mo montages
'cause those are my favorites.
- Those are your favorites.
- Yeah, then we can go from there.
Ready, hands in.
One, two, three, team.
One, two, three, team!
(chill music)
This is the realistic scenario
that I have been using the iPad for a lot.
I've been currently working on my Animal Crossing island
trying to crossbreed flowers.
So I've been using the iPad a lot to reference
and now I don't have to reach entirely over this far
to touch the iPad
because the trackpad is right here.
I've also been using it a lot
because there is an Animal Crossing pattern tool,
so you can import images.
It'll pixelize them
and then you will be able to generate a QR code
and then I use my phone to import the QR code
into my Nintendo app
and then I import that into my Switch,
into the game,
and then I can use it as signs or pictures,
basically whatever I want in-game.
(chill music)
In case you guys forgot,
you can use Xbox and PlayStation controllers on the iPad.
You can also use it on your iPhone as well.
So if there's any games that support it,
while playing "Hot Lava" right now.
I'm gonna play some basketball.
Come here, give me this.
We're gonna get this,
we're gonna get this in.
Nope, we're not.
It still is crazy that you can use an Xbox controller
to a game on an iPad.
This is so great.
Right now I'm using Sidecar on the iPad.
So I'm basically using this iPad as a second display
but what I like so much about this
and I honestly don't know why
it took Apple so long to make this type of a case
is I can easily adjust this
without having to move my iPad all around.
But I'm still such a huge fan of this case.
If you haven't been able to tell,
case, keyboard, whatever you wanna call it.
So I'm editing this video
and I have my browser window over here.
So on the iPad, I can use this as a second display
with all of the footage that I have for this video.
I can add my in, my out points,
and I'm actually just using the keyboard
on my computer
and I can add that right in here.
I'm just gonna add it at the end.
You can also mirror the display.
So if I wanna have a full version
of what is on my monitor,
it can have it on the iPad as well.
(chill music)
(upbeat electronic music)
You guys might be wondering what's happening right now.
Jenna is also wondering what's happening right now.
- I was playing my game,
I looked up and I was like, "Oh."
- This is a really elaborate setup
that we have right now.
Using this app called Cinamaker
and it's allowing me to monitor four different streams
from these three phones and an iPad on the floor.
And what's amazing about this
is obviously having this pass-through power.
I'm able to make sure that this iPad stays charged
while we're monitoring all four of these streams.
You can use this to do live streams
or you can just record it and then edit it later.
This app is so awesome.
I plan on doing a bigger video talking about this.
So when I was setting up the Matty cam
on the old iPad with the smart keyboard,
that's when I realized
how amazing it is to be able to have the range of motion
that the Magic Keyboard has
because I wouldn't have needed to shove an extra battery
underneath the case to get that same exact shot.
One of the ways I've been using this iPad a lot recently
is in my home gym.
Since I can't go out
and go to group yoga classes like I used to,
I've been using this a lot to do on-demand yoga classes.
I've also been using it to do some instructional drills here
with my friend.
Doesn't have a name yet.
But I've been watching
a bunch of different jiu-jitsu tutorials,
and the new Magic Keyboard
is making it so much easier to adjust the stand.
So if I'm doing a different workout,
if I'm doing yoga or something like that,
I'm able to adjust the stand very easily,
and with one hand.
Hey, Matty, we're gonna do a yoga workout now.
A little downward dog?
Okay.
That was it, that's.
Your tongue touched my teeth, Matty.
(dramatic music)
(loud pounding)
Just not quite like the real thing.
I just had a thought.
This can make a great tripod.
Well not really a tripod but a kickstand
for making TikToks.
All right, here we go.
Let's set a timer.
♪ Interior croc ♪
(comical music)
- Yes, it's my best work, ladies and gentlemen.
That is talent.
Matty, come on inside.
And that, my friends,
is the first look at the new Magic Keyboard for the iPad.
This thing, honestly, is really cool.
I showed you guys a bunch of kind of scenarios
where I would normally use my iPad
and you can still use an iPad without this
but it has enhanced the entire experience overall.
One of the questions
that I'm sure many of you guys are gonna be asking
is can you use this with the old version of the iPad?
And yes, you can.
This is the new smart keyboard on the old iPad
and it still fits right where the camera is,
you'll just have a larger square cutout
because this one has two cameras.
Thank you guys so much for watching.
Feel free to ask me any questions
in the comments or on Twitter
because I have been using this thing
extensively over the past several days.
Don't forget to like this video if you enjoyed it.
Be sure to subscribe if you haven't already
and hit the bell so you'll be alerted
when I post new videos.
I have a bunch of new ones coming up for you guys,
so be sure to do all of those things
and I will see you guys in the comments
and in my next video.
Bye!
