As nifty as the new 10th-generation iPads may be, they now arrive without a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack connector.
The ninth-generation entry level iPad, which Apple continues to sell, is now the only remaining tablet in Apple’s iPad range that has the 3.5mm connector.
Users of the new iPad who’d like to use wired headphones can use the Lightning port or snag Apple’s $9 USB-C-to-3.5mm adapter.
Apple gradually removed the 3.5mm connector from its iPhones, and then from the iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPad mini, in that order. When Apple stops selling the previous-generation iPad, it will be the end of the headphones connector on the company’s tablets, and among Apple’s hardware it will be only Macs that include the jack.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
