Yeah, insane choice. Here’s a visual from Twitter: https://twitter.com/_alexguyot/status/1582405085484953601 https://twitter.com/_alexguyot/status/158240508548

  To be fair, both are pretty bad solutions.

    Yes, that's... exactly the point being made. The solution that every single iPad with USB-C used before today isn't pictured in that tweet, and it is far better. Apple made a really annoying choice here.

      Right. The Apple Pencil 2 (used on more expensive iPads) connects to the side of the iPad magnetically and charges that way. It looks nice and works fine. The original way (stick straight out of the port) worked but was always weird. They had a chance to fix it and… compromised? The “fixed” the iPad by going USB-C, which is good. They don’t have to redesign the first Pencil which is fine (it’s cheaper than v2) but that left them with… this. Very un-Apple. More than the original.
