After much resistance, Apple finally agreed to use Type-C ports instead of Lightning connectors on all its models. After the decision of the European Union, the company, which had to switch to Type-C input in iPhone and iPad models, seems to be quite far from Type-C technology in the new tablet model.
Apple can’t disconnect from Lightning
According to the reviews, the 10th generation iPad offers USB 2.0 speeds even though it has a USB-C port. We can say that the new generation tablet, which transmits at 480 Mbps, does not leave Lightning technology behind. When it comes to external display connection, the performance is 4K 30 Hz or 1080p 60 Hz.
The same is not the case with the iPad Pro, iPad Air and iPad mini. Although Apple offers Type-C connectivity on all these models, it seems to have limited speed only on the 10th generation iPad. The iPad Pro has 40 Gbps transfer speeds, while the iPad Air offers 10 Gbps and iPad mini 5 Gbps.
In the light of all this data, the 10th generation iPad lags far behind in terms of transfer speed. Although the 10th generation iPad offers insufficient transfer speed, it stands out with its new features. The tablet, which has a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, is home to the A14 Bionic processor.
The model, which has an updated 12 Megapixel rear camera, has Wi-Fi 6E connectivity. Cellular-supporting models, on the other hand, support 5G connectivity. In addition to the technical features, the new generation iPad has also gained different color options.
