iPad Another power plug! Really?

[TheRealAlex]

God damnit!

Just got a new iPad, and guess what?
ANOTHER ****ING TYPE OF POWER PLUG!
Apple used to be so easy to follow!
IM RETURNING THIS IPAD- IM FED UP WITH THIS ****!
Why can't electronic manufactures get on the same page!?
Ive got a drawer full of ****ing power plugs!

I have successfully transferred ALL my devices to 1 Power Plug and 1 Cord. USB-C

Note 9
Nintendo Switch
13 MacBook Pro
Sony, WH1000XM3 Noise canceling
IPad Pro 11
Lithium power bank USB-C

Every single portable device I own is now USB-C. Period

I don't believe that this thread is for real. Who would spend hundreds of dollars on a device and then return it because they don't like the power cable?

It's like buying a car and wanting to take it back because you don't like which side the gas tank is on.

How is this even a real issue, as the iPad (whatever version it is) comes with the proper accessories to charge itself...?

Given that this was the OP's first and only post and hasn't even returned to the forum since, it does look a lot like trolling.

Not necessarily. It’s pretty common for someone to have a disappointing experience—regardless of fault or expectation—come to the forums to vent and then disappear. It doesn’t mean it’s trolling.

In fact, I’d argue it indicates that it’s NOT, as someone who was trolling would continue egging folks on to elicit more responses.

Are you sure about that?

If anything, moving to a common standard should start to reduce you need for different plugs.

Never fear Amazon is here

Sorry for my off topic comment but I don’t think that adapter supports fast charge?? That would be a no go for some. Now if they made one that supported fast charging I’d buy it. Oh, I’d buy the reverse configuration as well.

Wait until OP finds out that the Headphone jack is missing.

In the words of the great Ron Burgundy, "well that escalated quickly.".

The camera bump too.
