At the early morning of last week, Apple directly launched two new iPad on its official website. They are equipped with the iPad Pro with the M2 processor and the iPad 10 with the A14 processor respectively. In addition to the upgrade of appearance and processor, the biggest change of iPad 10 is to abandon the Lighting interface and turn to the USB-C interface. This is also Apple's last tablet to upgrade the interface. Since then, all iPad series have bid farewell to the Lighting interface.
Foreign media The Verge found that the USB-C port data transmission speed of the iPad 10 is limited to 480Mbps that USB 2.0 can support. This means that even if it is upgraded to a USB-C interface, the data transmission speed of iPad 10 is still the same as that of iPad 9 with Lighting interface .
and other iPad models upgraded to USB-C interfaces are faster data transmission speeds. For example, the iPad Air 5 can reach 10Gbps, and even the iPad mini 6 can reach 5Gbps, while the iPad Pro equipped with M1 chip can even reach 40Gbps.
I have to sigh that Apple's knife skills are really accurate. It seems to be an upgrade, but in fact it can save as much as possible. It's a lonely upgrade~
Although the starting price of iPad 10 this time is almost up to the price of the Air version, it is still the positioning of an entry-level machine, and the transmission speed is at the bottom. However, most users hardly use iPad to transmit data, which has little impact.
In addition, the upgrade of iPad 10 also brings trouble to users. is only compatible with the first-generation Apple Pencil, while the first-generation Apple Pencil only supports Lighting interface to charge.
This also caused users to use a converter to charge it wired. Perhaps Apple had thought of this for a long time, so it specially launched a USB-C to Apple Pencil converter on Apple's official website, which costs only 67 yuan.
Although this new iPad is a bit confusing to match the first generation of Apple Pencil, it is also a big step towards the unified charging interface. At least the converter launched on Apple's official website can ensure that users do not need to buy a new line if their old line is broken.
