We already know, although not precisely from Apple, that the iPad Pro has a Lightning port that is perfectly compatible with USB 3.0, not with the connector itself, but with its specifications. This would not only allow for faster data transfer than any iOS device currently offers, but also it could also make the iPad Pro's huge battery charge much faster. But for this it would be necessary for Apple to authorize USB cables to Lightning 3.0, something that does not happen at the moment. But this leaves open the possibility of possible new features and products that Apple could unveil, who knows if in the next generation of iPad Pro or in the presentation that will take place in a month.
The iPad Pro can use 14,5 volts and 2 amps, which is equivalent to 29 watts. However, not even the cable that comes standard allows it, not even the charger included in the box either, since it only offers 12 watts. Yet what a coincidence the charger included in the 12-inch MacBook is precisely 29 watts. Currently it is not possible to use this 29 watt charger with the iPad Pro, as there is no USB-Lighning cable compatible with USB 3.0. Although we used the MacBook charger, having a Lightning 2.0 cable limited to 12 watts.
It is also curious that Apple has not yet certified any USB-C to Lightning cable that allows to charge or synchronize the iPhone or iPad directly with the new 12-inch MacBook. Despite being two Apple products, the interaction between them cannot be direct, and an adapter would be necessary to use the current USB 2.0 Lighnitng cable. With all this, right now it takes 4 and a half hours to fully charge an iPad Pro, time that would be significantly reduced with a USB 3.0 compatible charger and cable. Unfortunately, even if some are unofficially compatible, it would not work either.as Apple should update the firmware of the iPad Pro to support this fast charge.
Hello I would like to know the difference between the Ipad air 2 and the regular Ipad to the Ipad pro thanks
