Just a few hours ago the media received in their inboxes the invitation to the new Apple special event. It will take place on October 30 in New York, a place that Apple is not very used to. However, it is expected to be a event with many new products like the iPad Pro 2018, new MacBooks and a redesign of the AirPods.
A Japanese media that has attended the Global Sources Mobile Electronics Fair 2018 has confirmed that many accessory manufacturers comment with certainty that the new iPad Pro 2018 will come with USB-C connectivity. In this way, Apple would remove the Lightning connector from its devices, for the first time since its presentation in 2012.
The iPad Pro 2018 will bring USB-C connectivity
Years ago the charging port of Apple mobile devices was modified. We went from the original 30-pin connector to a new, faster port that Apple called lightning. After 6 years on iPads, we could say goodbye to this connector to welcome USB-C. Rumors have been sounding loud since this summer and, after the announcement of the keynote by the Big Apple, reports and analysis of new products predict the arrival of USB-C connectivity to iPads.
The goal of bringing this connectivity to your tablets is unknown, but it is expected to be related to the idea of professionalize your products. With USB-C, iPads could be connected to 4K displays, which would be really good for those users who use the terminal for the professional sector. Also, with the recent announcement of Adobe Photshop, integrating one more display could be very beneficial.
The middle Mac Otakara attended the Global Sources Mobile Electronics Fair 2018 and claimed to hear on multiple occasions that the next iPad will have this connection to charge the devices and transfer data. Also, many manufacturers showed some sketches of their upcoming products. On the other hand, the diagram showing the measurements of the new iPad Pro.
This graphic shows that the bezels on both models could have 6 millimeters, and that the smallest device could be just 5,6 millimeters, a really incredible size for a product with these characteristics.
