The current smart keyboard folio is connected directly to the iPad with a strong magnet, making a structurally rigid triangle.

On the Magic keyboard, the iPad is cantilevered through a remote hinge.

I have a hard time believing that the screen is as rigid and won't wobble when touched, or in non-desktop use.

That hinge has a lot of work to do, maintaining the right amount of resistance for long period of use over the life of the device.

I know that with the trackpad the need to touch the screen will be reduced, but I find I still have to touch the screen sometimes while using the TrackPad 2.

I also have a hard time believing Apple would not have solved these issues!

We'll know soon enough ! Looking forward to the first user reports.

I use a double-hinged stand for my 12.9 Pro and it's good and stiff, no wobble with touch at all. Have been using it for quite some time, too. It can be done.
