The latest iPad Pro uses USB4/Thunderbolt 4 but it is backwards compatible with USB-C, although some of its 40Gbps will be lost in the connection.Īt the back a single HDMI 2.0 video output connects your iPad to an external 4K or HD display at 60Hz maximum resolution is 3840 x 2160.Īlongside the HDMI are three 5Gbps USB-A ports (slightly underpowered at just 4.5W) and Gigabit Ethernet for wired Internet access. The iPad is connected via USB-C with 37.5W charging and 5Gbps data transfer. The iPad magnetically attaches in either portrait or landscape mode and will even fast-charge your iPhone (7.5W) and AirPods (5W) at its base you can also add an optional Apple Watch charging module for the full Apple experience. StudioDock turns your iPad into a desktop workstation, with attached peripherals, charging and external display. Ports: USB-C (to iPad), USB-C PD (5Gbps/60W), USB-A (5Gbps), HDMI, SD and microSD card readers, 3.5mm audioįor the ultimate iPad hub, enter the Kensington StudioDock-a full-featured docking station that’s also a good-looking 120-degree tilting stand that will raise your iPad up to 13cm from the desk.
Twelve South also sells a less-mini but still highly portable StayGo USB-C hub that boasts nine ports, including Gigabit Ethernet and SD and Micro USB card readers alongside the HDMI, USB-A and USB-C passthrough power delivery. The USB-A port is USB 2.0, so limited to 480Mbps data transfer compared to the 5Gbps on offer on some of the other hubs reviewed here. It weighs just 36g and measures 2.8-x-1.25-x-0.3in (72-x-32-x-8mm), making it the smallest USB-C iPad hub we have tested. StayGo mini adds just four ports, but enough for you to attach an external display (4K at 30Hz), a USB-A device and headphones as well as powering your tablet or laptop at the same time–especially handy for tablets that have just the one port. The cable is useful if your iPad is in a protective case, and you could use your own longer cable if required. Why we love it: This small hub can connect to your iPad (or MacBook) via either the integrated USB-C connector or a detachable cable (20in).
