Just got my ipad pro 11, wifi issues with usb c headphone adapter?

My wife and I just upgraded to the ipad pro 11 inch model and we've noticed some unusual wifi connection activity. Some apps like youtube, pinterest, and even safari will say "unable to connect" or "lost connection with network", etc. This ONLY happens when we're using headphones connected with the usb-c adapter we got from Apple! Please help, is anyone else experiencing issues like this? It couldn't be just us...as it's happening on BOTH our ipads. Our iphones and every other device do NOT have any issues with wifi connection.

iPad Pro Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 12.1

I am adding my problem to this thread. I have been experiencing the exact same issue except I am using an Apple USB-C media adapter so I can use my portable USB mechanical keyboard. If the keyboard is plugged into the adapter, after 3-10 minutes, the internet will stop working. My wifi and/or 4G connection is still connected but the internet does not work. If I unplug the the USB connection, the internet starts working. I have tried 2 other 3rd party adapters, keyboards, and USB cables with the same problem. I have also started a ticket with Apple so am hoping to get this fixed asap as I use my custom mechanical keyboard for a heavy amount of technical writing.


Cheers

Same issue here.


Under Cook, Apple Devices no longer “just work”. They charge a luxury price and frankly, are not delivering a luxury experience. Am I to believe that they actually tested this dongle in their labs before release And found no problems? Or am I to believe that they never bothered to test it?


Under Cook, the “supply chain” guy, I am inclined to believe the latter.

Hello all,


Im having the exact same problem. I from the Netherlands and i've reported this issue by phone. The assistent there said she would send the issue to the Senior. Today its 22 dec 2018 so i hope they fix it in januari after the holidays. Untill then we just have to keep replugging the usb-c adapter in and out i ques.


Please keep supporting this post from originally made by Bend! This will increase the priority for apple to fix this issue.


Kind regard, R
