I have a lovely new iPad mini Retina. The USB-Lightning cable that came with it is very short. I'd like to extend it. I assume the simplest (and probably cheapest) way to do this would be to get a USB extension cable, one with a female plug one end and a male the other. Correct? If so, do I need USB2 or USB3? I'm guessing 2, but not sure.
You are better off using a power strip. A longer USB cable will affect the charging time of iPad.
Just my opinion, but the easiest and least expensive way to extend your cable .....use a common household extension cord. That's what I use. Plug the cable from the iPhone/iPod/iPad into the power adapter and plug the power adapter into an extension cord. Buy a white cord and you will have a nice color match
Thanks to both of you. Sometimes the obvious is just staring us in the face! But thanks for pointing me at it. That ought to do it perfectly.
You are most welcome 🙂
