USB-C?? Is hell freezing over or good regulations making their magic?
- petesergeant 4y agoMy iPad Mini (or is it an Air?) from last Xmas has USB-C
- tenebrisalietum 4y agoThey're seriously trying to replace laptops.
- matwood 4y agoApple has been moving towards USB-C for a long time. It's not like this is their first USB-C device. I think it's the last iPad that needed to move.
- brundolf 4y agoiPads have had USB-C for years now, which just makes the iPhone situation even more silly
- darkwater 4y agoOh, since it was posted as a highlight and seeing that iPhones still have the proprietary connector, I naively thought it was a novelty. Glad I was wrong, let's see when they fix this in iPhones as well.
- brundolf 4y agoIt's a very confusing announcement because "iPad" here means "the budget-model iPad", which has had the old design with lightning and a physical home button until now, while the other models (Air and Pro) haven't had either of those in years
- rootusrootus 4y agoMy iPad Pro from years ago has USB-C. Apple has been moving that way for a while. My guess is they're saving iPhone for last because they know more people will complain about having to buy new cables than are complaining now about continuing to use 10 year old Lightning cables.
- LegitShady 4y agomy 2018 ipad pro has USB-C. It's great. I can use standard usb-c hubs and whatnot with it. this has been slowly happening but its been happening.
