Does anyone know what is the USB-C port type for iPad Air (M2) and iPad Pro (M4)? What are their maximum transfer speed?
I’m contemplating between the new iPad Air vs iPad Pro. I will be using the iPad to transfer my photos from SD Cards to portable SSD during my travels.
When comparing the models, the Apple website did mention about Thunderbolt/USB 4 support for iPad Pro but it just state USB-C connector for the iPad Air.
Thanks!
Only recent models of iPad Pro (such as the 2024 iPad Pro M4) support Thunderbolt 3/USB 4.
By contrast, the 2024 iPad Air M2 supports USB 3 (up to 10Gb/s) over USB-C.
Here are the full specifications for both the iPad Pro M4 and iPad Air M2:
iPad Pro 13‑inch (M4) - Tech Specs - Apple Support
iPad Air 13-inch (M2) - Tech Specs - Apple Support
The technical specifications across models of each family only differ by screen size and internal storage options. For iPad Pro, internal RAM is increased from 8GB to 16GB for models with 1TB/2TB storage.
