![]() ![]() The two I tested include USB-C (for both data and pass-through charging of the iPad), a USB-A 3.0 port, microSD, SD, HDMI, and a headphone jack. You can even keep them attached full-time if your iPad Pro is mostly used on a desk. If the iPad Pro is going to be your one and only computer, you might be drawn to USB-C hubs that are specifically designed to latch onto Apple’s flagship tablet. None of the products I tested had a badge on the box to indicate MFi / Made for iPad certification, but they all functioned (mostly) as expected. Apple provides very little guidance on which hubs work the best with the 2018 iPad Pro all the company really says is that hubs and docks should both work over the USB-C connection. Thankfully, the jack-of-all-trades nature of USB-C means that you can use USB-C hubs to get those missing ports back - and then some. I ask: can any device be “pro” if it has just one lonely port? You get to use it for one thing at a time, be it charging, using the USB-C headphone adapter, or plugging in a range of dongles (and soon, mercifully, external hard drives). The iPad Pro’s single USB Type-C port is one of my main frustrations about an otherwise truly stellar piece of technology. ![]()
