The first iPad Pro has already entered the market at the end of 2015 and to this day there are hardly any accessories for the included SmartConnector. While the economic magazine Fastcompany explains what the reason is, Apple promises an already growing supply.
The iPad Pro is now available in three versions, while Smart Connector accessories are only four: One is the Smart Keyboard offered by Apple , the other three come from Logitech and are also keyboard cases or a docking station. Although Apple has not yet revealed what accessories to add, the company said that several manufacturers are currently developing products for the Smart Connector of the iPad Pro.
Actually a practical connection
The SmartConnector is supposed to simplify the handling of the iPad Pro. The peripherals can be connected and the tablet can be charged via the port without a Bluetooth connection, which must first be established and consumes additional energy. Actually, the connection is practical, so why there are so few accessories?
According to the Fast Company report, accessory manufacturers are said to have several reasons against the development of suitable accessories. Thus, for example, the field of the keyboard covers is already covered by Apple and Logitech. In addition, components for the connection should have comparatively much cost and long delivery times. As Apple promised further accessories for the Smart Connector of the iPad Pro, the latter circumstances might have improved. We are curious about the accessories gadgets that the manufacturers have considered for Apple's high-end tablets.
