Knowing how much Apple loves mixing Bluetooth and wifi for some products, are we sure that the Smart Keyboard is actually entirely wired? I mean, I know it has a connector, but is there any chance it uses wifi as well?

Fairly confident it's just the smart connector driving the input.

My keyboard has a 72MHz 32 bit processor‽ I think I was on my 7th computer before I had one that powerful.

Basically every device with both Bluetooth and WiFi use a single chip for both.

I don't know the details about how the Smart Keyboard works but I'm confident it doesn't use WiFi.
