best way SD on new iPad pro

With the new iPad pro there will be USB rather than lightening. I often download photos on my current iPad using an SD to lightening reader.. If I purchase a USB SD reader, will that work OK or will it need to be an Apple product?

Yes according to this article: Charge and connect with the USB-C port on the new iPad Pro - Apple Support



Connect to other devices


The USB-C port on iPad Pro allows connections to a variety of devices. For example, you can connect a digital camera or the Apple USB-C to SD Card Reader to import photos to your iPad Pro. Other USB devices you can connect to iPad Pro include these:

  • Hubs and docks
  • Keyboards
  • Audio interfaces and MIDI devices
  • External storage devices to import photos and videos
  • USB to Ethernet adapters

Depending on the device, you might need an adapter. Here are some common connections:

  • If the device that you're connecting to has a USB-C port, all you need is a cable with USB-C connectors on each end, such as the cable that came with iPad Pro.
  • If the device has a USB-C connector, you can plug it directly into the iPad Pro USB-C port.
  • If the device has a USB-A connector, you can plug it into the Apple USB-C to USB adapter, then plug the adapter into the iPad Pro USB-C port.
