WSJ: Apple iPad Pro to come with USB 3.0 port, rapid charging, and optional keyboard
The Wall Street Journal today reports an extremely surprising development about the upcoming 12.9" iPad Pro. While confirming that production of Apple's largest tablet to date has been pushed to indicate a fall, instead of a spring release, which was already tipped by Reuters, the WSJ adds another curious tidbit.
It turns out that Apple is thinking to go with the flow, and include a good ol' USB 3.0 port on the tablet, which would be really earth shattering, given Apple's knack for proprietary connectors. "Apple has continued to rework some of the features of the larger iPad. It is now considering the faster technology for data synchronization between the larger iPad and other computing devices," tipped the insiders. "Apple is also working on technology to speed up the iPad charging time, but it remains uncertain if the final design will have these new features."
