If it's intended as a differentiator, rather than cost savings, I would hope they would mention it in the fine print somewhere. I'm in the market for a new iPad this year. I've already ruled out the new base iPad but I've read the Apple site closely and quite a few reviews and this is the first I'm hearing of this difference in USB-C ports.
