Our Verdict

Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro (M4)

Logitech Flip Folio

While both the Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro (M4) and the Logitech Flip Folio are portable, low-profile keyboards designed for iPads, they have some distinctive characteristics. Apple's keyboard is better built and offers a trackpad. However, it connects with Smart Connector pins, only works with the tablet, and isn't very versatile. Logitech's keyboard is Bluetooth compatible and can be used with many different devices, but its typing quality isn't as good, and it's a slightly bulkier device overall.
