iPad Smart Keyboard Folio for iPad Pro 11‑inch - 2nd Gen?

[Dwalls90]

For the Smart Keyboard Folio for iPad Pro, is there any difference between the version that's been out since Fall 2018 compared to the "new" version that launched yesterday? I ask, because on Apple's site, they refer to it as " (2nd generation)". Curious what the differences are, if any.

The new version has a larger cut out for the camera on the 2020 Pros. Apparently, they’ve done it so the 2018 Pros can fit inside the same opening, although, we can expect there will be a gap.

So the old one will almost look better with the 2018 iPad? I recall reading some users saying the 2018/1st gen version of the keyboard had some flaws, so was curious if anything was updated in this 2nd gen version that would make it worth having the larger cutout.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that.
