As someone who owns an iPad, airpods, and a MBP (just to state some non-apple-hater credentials) I was just commenting yesterday to someone that despite owning all 3 of these products I have no way to plug in either of the first two into the third one. I have zero cords that connect them because of decisions that have been made about them. And despite them being on the same "ecosystem" I have never needed any kind of syncing or wireless connection between my iPad and my MBP. I wish Apple would focus more on strengthening the quality of their PRODUCTS rather than their "ecosystem".
- Tagbert 5y agoUnclear why you would connect these devices via a cord. The AirPods are inherently wireless but do easily switch between the iPad and the MBP. You could connect the iPad to the MBP using either a lightning cable or USB-C depending on which iPad you have but I don’t see what benefit that would give you though you could use that to charge the iPad. The products seem to work fine.

- etaioinshrdlu 5y agoThose devices actually do have the capability of connecting to each other.
- Tsiklon 5y agoI’m doing a distance learning course with my local university and recently availed of the student discount to buy a new iPad Pro, and it came with a pair of AirPods Pro. The iPad Pro came with a USB-C cable, the AirPods a Lightning to USB-C cable, and all macs since 2016 have usb-c/thunderbolt ports. This was a valid critique a couple of years ago, but not now.
