Use external devices
Connect your iPad (or iPhone) to almost anything via the power of USB-C
One of our favourite things about the latest iPads is their USB-C port, which enables you to connect all kinds of devices.
USB-C is the most recent and fastest version of the standard, and it enables you to connect more demanding devices such as fast external storage. It also enables you to charge your iPhone, AirPods or Apple Watch; just connect the appropriate cable to your iPad and it’ll share its battery. That’s not all your iPad can do. It can move files to and from external drives and memory cards; connect to DisplayPort external displays; connect to external keyboards and mice; connect to USB interfaces for microphones and musical instruments; and you can use it with adapters as an HDMI output or an Ethernet connector.
