IPad Pro USB-C and USB flash drives

https://daringfireball.net/2018/11/the_2018_ipad_pros

I firmly believe that the iOS Files app should show attached USB drives. I believed this before, when USB peripherals needed to be attached using a Lightning adapter, but now that iPad Pros have a USB-C port, it seems downright silly that USB drives don’t appear in the Files app. I think the iPad’s old policy of not even having a Files app at all made sense. I’m glad Apple added the Files app, but it made sense not to have one in the name of simplicity. But it doesn’t make sense to me to have a Files app but not show the contents of USB drives when you connect them. This just feels spiteful.

So Apple, why why no support for USB drives on the new Pro's?

You're missing a chance to put a real jawbreaker on the market here.

Are you scared to put down MacBook Pro sales?

So Apple,

You know that we are just fellow users and that you're not talking to Apple on these user forums. If you want to leave feedback to them (don't expect a reply) : http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Thx for the link, I assume there will be someone in the giant Apple corporate business appointed to read the communities on "hot" topics? Or not? And we're helping each other only?

These are just user forums, Apple only moderate them - there are too many posts to expect them to read every single one
