Apple's 2022 11-inch iPad Pro built around the M2 chip uses a single Thunderbolt 3 / USB 4 port over the USB-C connector — the same up-to-40 Gb/s pipe as a MacBook Pro, allowing external displays up to 6K@60Hz and Thunderbolt SSDs. The 3-pin Smart Connector on the back contacts a Magic Keyboard or Smart Keyboard Folio without any cable. There is no 3.5mm headphone jack and no microSD slot — wired headphones need a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter, and storage expansion happens over the Thunderbolt port.
