Apple Not long ago released iPad 10. With new colors, redesigns and A14 bionic chips, the company also swapped the iPad 10's lightning port for USB-C. Although this may mean higher data transmission speed and support for external monitors, we now know that the knife skills are not only available at Lao Huang. Apple has a slow USB-C 2.0 port for this iPad.
This means it's the same speed as the iPad 9's Lightning port, and while that's not important to the average user, it seems like a bad practice to charge $100 extra for this tablet without providing better technology.
USB-C port makes charging and connecting accessories like USB hubs more convenient than before, and although it is limited to USB 2.0 data speeds and 4K 30Hz (or 1080p 60Hz) external displays, how much impact do these limitations have on the consumer use of this iPad? Maybe not very big.
MacRumors' Joe Rossignol pointed out that among all iPads currently sold with last year's base model iPad, iPad 10 provides the slowest data transmission speed:
iPad Pro: up to 40Gbps
iPad Air: up to 10Gbps
iPad mini: up to 5Gbps
iPad 10: up to 480Mbps
iPad 9: up to 480Mbps
iPad Only users who plan to buy this tablet will understand that the switch of USB-C is just a change in the shape of the port and has nothing to do with the data transmission speed. Switching to
to USB-C also brings another problem to customers, because the iPad 10 supports the first-generation Apple Pencil, and the stylus needs to be charged with the Lightning port. To solve this problem, Apple offers a $9 adapter.
Regarding this tablet, it also needs to be noted that it no longer offers a headphone jack, and its 10.9-inch display is larger than the previous generation, but it still doesn't have the higher level features of other models. For example, this tablet does not have a fully laminated display or anti-reflective coating.
