The version without numeric keypad is much less expensive and I actually prefer it but that's a matter of personal preference.
FWIW biometrics are stored on the computer's secure enclave, which means if you use it on a laptop you don't have to rescan your fingers on the new keyboard.

Thanks for the heads up. Didn't know there were 2 versions. Would rather get USB-C but $200 is steep.

This Lightning version does have the globe key for emoji; it's by the delete key.

But yeah, an obsolete port that they should have stopped designing into products 10 years ago. Hard pass. Kind of crazy we bought an entire mac mini for $400 and they want half or almost half of that for a keyboard.

Won't any keyboard work? Sans TouchID…
Yes. Save your money, unless your disposable income is significant. Even then, save your money.
You can spend half as much and get something more comfortable to actually type on. I'm a fan of Apple, but not most of their magic peripherals.
