Essential accessories for iPad

Many USB hubs are available for the iPad Pro. I did a lot of research before deciding to buy. There are a number of reasons why I chose Nov8tech. First of all, I needed the maximum number of USB ports that still have a small form factor. I don't need an SD card reader and HDMI and a 3.5mm jack were essential. Most competitors only offer a USB port. In addition, the product was cheaper than most of its competitors. When I received it I was pleasantly surprised. The color is very similar to my 11" iPad Pro in Space Gray. It also matches my Smart Keyboard Folio perfectly. It also works with Magic Keyboard. The connection to the USB-C port is solid and difficult to accidentally disconnect. It's also a great travel size and light weight. Regardless, it doesn't look cheap and doesn't have any weird logos or symbols. The size is comparable to a pen or credit card. It works great with my 2020 11" iPad Pro. It also works with 2018 iPad Pro models. Port selection is very simple. One headphone jack, one HDMI and two USB-A ports. One of these connectors is USB 3.0, ideal for flash drives or external hard drives. I use a USB A 2.0 port to connect a mouse that works fine with iOS 13 and later. The USB-C port is great. I can use it to charge an iPad relatively quickly, perhaps as quickly as possible with an Apple iPad charger. It also doubles as a data port so I can connect a USB-C flash drive. That makes a total of 3 fully functional and usable USB ports. With other ports and iOS 13 and higher, it makes the iPad as good as a laptop. I find this USB hub just as good as the ones Apple sells. I don't think anyone should spend more money on a more expensive iPad USB-C hub as it does its job perfectly and is amazingly designed. I would recommend this to anyone who doesn't need an SD card slot. It also works with Magic Keyboard and Smart Keyboard Folio. Also the customer service was great and the warranty is one year. I am very happy with this purchase.
