Yeah...they were a little short sighted on this. I guess Smart Keyboard 2 will have dedicated buttons for Home, Volume, Brightness, etc.
 
But why ANY OS X buttons?

I could only imagine that the iPad Pro could possibly be used natively as a mirror of OSX in the future? That would be a great feature for me since I have a Mac Pro and would like to use it remotely within my house. Im dreaming I guess. LOL
 
What OSX buttons? The iPad Pro will respond to the same keyboard shortcuts (cmd-x for cut, etc) as OSX does. Besides, it's got a keyboard/emoji key on it that Mac keyboards do not. The control key would come in handy for Remote Desktop sessions to both OSX and Windows, Citrix, etc. the Option key can be used for alternate character input, just like on OSX.
