I doubt any hub out there will directly claim iOS or iPadOS support, but being a standard USB-C, most if not all hubs should support the iPad just fine.


The iPad's port is limited to 10Gbps, so any additional ports need to share that bandwidth, which means you won't get full 10Gbps on the additional ports if more than one device is actively sending or receiving data.


There a fair number of hubs like that out there. Good quality brands include Acer, Ugreen, Belkin. Some examples:
