iPad Pro iPad Pro to use portrait mode when using Magickeboard

When using the Magic Keyboard, the iPad Pro is in landscape mode, but there are some scenarios where you need to use portrait mode. In this case, how should you support the iPad to standup

The MKB is not really designed to be used in portrait mode with the iPad. If I had to use the iPad in that mode, I would use a pencil to write with or use dictation, if at all possible.

Mind sharing those scenarios?

If you are referring to running smartphone apps that default to portrait orientation (like instagram), one way could be to run them in stage manager mode.

Alternatively, if you find yourself wanting to keep switching modes, the alternative would be to use a stand and wireless keyboard instead.

The scenario could be as simple as reading a pdf or browse photo with portrait mode.

As you said, a stand with a foldable keyboard will be the fit, but not a MK

When viewing the electronic version of my local paper, it no longer supports landscape mode, when using the iPad version of the Wegmans app it too no longer supports landscape mode as well. If I’m using an app that needs to be in portrait mode for basically viewing only I remove the iPad from the Magic Keyboard leaning it against the Magic Keyboard and continuing to view. Since the MK supports charging for the time the iPad spends in this potion that is not a problem (weigh the power cord). Or as you state I use my Apple bluetooth keyboard.
Since I am currently using a LAB22 iPad stand which rotates into portrait or landscape as well as allows for a writing with pencil position I use my Apple Bluetooth keyboard. The stand supports well and allows me to store the keyboard on the base.
