Misleading for hubs

Looking at the picture of the hub you might think that you can use a USB stick with the iPad Pro. Due to IOS limitations you can't do this at the moment, but I thought I could from ads. Maybe the hub will eventually become fully functional, but for now.

Pros
  • Useful not only for its intended purpose
Cons
  • sad packaging

A must for experienced iPad OS users!

Works exactly as intended. Exceptionally convenient and thoughtful form factor. I love that it was made with a finish to match my 2018 11-inch iPad Pro Space Gray. Not my first Satechi hub - I also have one of their short cable hubs for the new MacBook Pro lines. I 110% recommend this to anyone looking for headphone, HDMI and USB-A all-in-one ports (with the charging bay still open). Especially with iPad OS, this product has killer value since users now have direct access to flash drives andโ€ฆ

  • Good thing

  • Compatibility

Close, but no cigar.

Update January 27, 2019: Satechi contacted me right after my first review. A few messages and a few days later my broken hub was replaced with a new one. Now that all ports are working as they should, I can now use multiple devices at the same time as long as I plug in each device in the "correct" order. The sleeve itself fits a little better than the previous one, but I'm still careful not to accidentally hit it. Overall I can now use my hub for its intended purpose so I'm happy. So, goodโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Wide Range
Cons
  • Modern

Helps ensure smooth workflow

I really like this hub adapter. I use it on my iPad Pro 12.9 and it works perfectly. It gives you everything you need to make your workflow easy and productive. I love that I still have an iPhone 7 and can charge both at the same time. It's worth it!

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Speed

HDMI port not working with 2018 iPad Pro

Despite repeated attempts, I still couldn't get my new TCL 4K Roku TV to "see" my 2018 iPad Pro, even when connected directly to high quality HDMI was connected cable. So I thought maybe Roku TV just doesn't "accept" iDevices. Then I decided to conduct an experiment. Adapter-MD826AM/dp/B009WHV3BM) and an HDMI cable of the same quality, my TV recognized both my iPhone and 2015 iPad Pro straight away. I then grabbed the Apple USB-C Multiport Adapter (https://www.amazon.com/Apple-USB-C-Digital-Multโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Rugged finish
Cons
  • Available in white only
