iPad Pro still doesn't ship with USB-C charger?

[CatherineVeraGat]

Mmm, No. That is just relative to however much faster it can charge with other equipment. But that is not standard equipment, nor should it be included.

The point I'm making is very clearly the difference between standard equipment and high performance equipment. The standard equipment is more common, and fits with the ecosystem of other standard equipment that many people already have. The high performance equipment is optional (and unnecessary). You might think it is better for you, because you apparently value fast charging (of a device that already lasts all day and could just be recharged overnight...). It would not be better for me, because I don't value fast charging of iPad at all. What I do value is every additional Lightning-to-USB-A cable that comes with every Apple device I purchase.

Oh...I can tell you if iPhone X has USB-C or not, if you want to know?

It doesn't.

No, the iPhone X will not ship that cable.

99% of users would look at it and say WTF is this? It doesn't plug into anything (except the brick it ships with).

iPhone X is going to sport inductive charging, all of the focus is going to be on that.

Some of our devices don't last all day. Let's see what devices these are. Every iPhone up to the iPhone 7, 7 Plus. This includes the iPhone 5S, iPhone SE (both generations) that has bad battery life. Some iPads, especially with one's that has higher screen resolutions like the iPad Pro 12.9 that has bad battery life.

Why do you need a USB Type-C charger? The iPads has a lighting port to charge the device.

[doublepost=1502560442][/doublepost]Because the lightning charger is embarrassingly slower than USB-C. Take the tab S3 vs the 10.5, The ipad has a slightly larger battery but takes almost 2 hours more to get to 100. Why do you think all new PC's, Macbooks, Chromebooks, and android models are switching to it?

Just in case people are wondering. I use my 2016 MacBook Pro's 87W charger with USB-C to Lightning cable and it works fine!

I think they should have at least provided a discount for the fast charging setup. Since I already had the charger, I just needed to get the cable so it was not that bad for me. The provided charger is so so so incredibly slow.

Like others here, I own a 12.9 and use it heavily throughout the day. In my opinion, a charger should be able to charge the 12.9 during the heaviest possible use. Simply put, it does not. Yes there are workarounds, but they inconvenience the customer. For as much as we pay for these devices, it is not at all unreasonable to expect them to charge during use, regardless of how heavily they are being used.

It took me all of three days to break down and buy the 29W charger. No issues at all since purchasing it.

I'm sorry Apple that is just criminal. Especially for the 12.9" model. I know they make tons of money off accessories but come on.
