Does anyone else randomly receive the following error popup even when there's no accessories connected to your iPad?

"Accessory not supported:
This accessory is not supported by this device."

Experiencing this on my 2020 12.9 iPad pro when using it naked.

Weird. Is your skin touching the Smart Connector or something? Only thing I can think of is you’re generating enough static to kinda trigger the Smart Connector.

Happens to me frequently on my iPP 10.5 which does not have a skin but does have a silicone back cover.

Are you touching the smart connector with oily hands?

Who knows?

Do you have some bluetooth devices connected to it as well? If its not smart connectors, perhaps try to disconnect bt devices one by one to see which one might be making trouble?
