The iPad Pro has had 100% standard USB C ports for years now.
The conspiracy theories never made sense.
- SigmundA 3y agoThe iPad Pro used a separate USB controller which adds cost, space, power making it a no go on the phones. The A17 is the first A series with integrated USB3 controller.
- auguzanellato 3y agoWasn't the USB4 controller on the newer Pro models on die? Should be the same used by Apple Silicon Macs
- GeekyBear 3y ago> The iPad Pro used a separate USB controller The iPad Pro has used M series SOCs with an integrated USB controller for years now.
- SigmundA 3y agoI am talking about the 4th gen and prior iPad Pros with A series cpus and USB3, not M series which also have built in USB3 controllers, I thought I made the A series part clear. M series being much larger and more power hungry would also have the same issues in a phone, hence the two different series, so my point still stands.

- Eric_WVGG 3y agoyeah, like their proprietary USB connector on iMacs, or their proprietary USB-C connector on Macbooks in 2016, or when they invented Thunderbolt all by themselves, and the time they didn't make Firewire and open standard… What are you talking about? Proprietary connectors I can think of… - A bunch of ridiculous digital video ports, necessary because the whole industry couldn't agree on how to move on from VGA. - The "dock connector" — literally nothing else in the industry, even after its introduction, could meet all the needs of that thing, up until… - Lightning. USB-C was still years away, and the attempts at small USB were a garbage fire.
- jdjdjdjdjduuuu 3y agoAt least they are being forced to add USB-C to their iphones
