If you’re not using your iPad’s USB-C port, you’re not taking full advantage of your tablet.
Colors: Space Gray, silver Ports: USB-C PD (5Gbps/60W), USB-A (5Gbps), HDMI, UHS-I microSD, SD card,3.5mm audio Why we love it: The HDMI port means you can add an external display, and it can handle 4K displays at 60Hz, although that might be a push if you are using all the other ports at the same time. This good-looking hub features a grip that secures it onto an iPad Pro without damaging the surface. However, you can remove the grip if you use a third-party iPad case. It connects direct to the iPad but handily also comes with a USB-C extender cable so you can use it as a USB-C hub for your MacBook or another USB-C device, too. It’s also lightweight at just 47g (1.6oz) and at 3.66-x-1.3-x-0.39in (93-x-33-x-10mm) it’s small enough to slip into a pocket. Colors: Space Gray, silver Ports: USB-C PD (5Gbps/60W), USB-A (5Gbps), HDMI,3.5mm audio Why we love it: There is no microSD or SD Card reader or other bells or whistles, but it is the smallest USB-C hub we tested at just 3.25-x-1.06-x-0.38in (83-x-27-x-0.96cm), and weighs 52g (1.8oz). It can also push a 4K monitor at 60Hz. Just note, that it’s not compatible with iPad cases. Colors: Black Ports: USB-C (to iPad), USB-C PD (85W), USB-A (5Gbps,7.5W), HDMI 2.0, Audio Out Why we love it: This small hub can connect to your iPad (or MacBook) via either the integrated USB-C connector or a detachable cable (20in). The cable is useful if your iPad is in a protective case, and you could use your own longer cable if required. StayGo mini adds just four ports, but enough for you to attach an external display (4K at 30Hz), a USB-A device and headphones as well as powering your tablet or laptop at the same time–especially handy for tablets that have just the one port. Twelve South also sells a less-mini but still highly portable StayGo USB-C hub that boasts nine ports, including Gigabit Ethernet and SD and Micro USB card readers alongside the HDMI, USB-A and USB-C passthrough power delivery.
