Huh? Both my M1 air and iPad Pro only use USB-C. Do some of the iPads still use Apple's lightning? These are the only two apple products I own, so I have never had any other connector. Except for a couple random items (stupid mouse), everything I own can use the same charger. Packing and traveling is so much easier.

There's a lot of iPad Gen 1-9s out there. Not to mention iPods and older iPhones...

I knew the phones and older devices had not, but I didn't think there were newish models of the iPads that hadn't switched to USB-C like the Pro line did.

I seriously love it. I can use the USB4/Thunderbolt ports to connect to my Dell monitor that includes PD (power delivery) and have 1 cable for everything. All of the ports for a keyboard, flash drives, Ethernet, whatever are on the monitor.

Ah, yeah that's true. I know we get used to only the absolute newest things being the norm, but... they still sell the Lightning models all over the world. Even in the US, this is straight from their website:

(In case it's not obvious, the USB-C port is on the wall charger. The actual iPad has the Lightning connector.)
