The main use case for my current iPad is to connect the audio-jack to my guitar amp and use GarageBand - which currently works great because I can charge the iPad at the same time. I guess in the future one can only use the audio out OR charge - which is a shame.
Edit: No, I can't really use bluetooth here since a) 99% of guitar amps have no BT support and b) the latency is noticeable.
- lathiat 4y agoIf you search Belkin Rockstar there is a dual port lightning adaptor and also a lightning+3.5mm adaptor. Can still be done with a dongle at least.
- KindAndFriendly 4y agoThank you. >> Rockstar -> ...looks like Belkin still does user research ;-)

- brewdad 4y agoOne can always keep using the old iPad. By the time you decide to upgrade devices, yeah, you probably will need to "buy more stuff". This has been true, along varying timelines, for all computers at least since USB was released.
- nfriedly 4y agoI believe this iPad has USB-C instead of lightning, but there's a "Belkin Rockstar" for that too: https://www.belkin.com/us/adapters/audio-charge/rockstar-3-5mm-audio-usb-c-charge-adapter/p/p-npa004/ https://www.belkin.com/us/adapters/audio-charge/rockstar-3-5... (as well as several other brands)
