I-iPad mini kuphela engenaso lesi sixhumi. Manje, nokho, kungenzeka ukuthi u-Apple uhlela inguquko encane lapha, njengoba esevele eshilo ku-WWDC 7. 

I-Smart Connector empeleni i-3 othintana nabo ngokusekelwa kwamagnethi, anganikezi nje amandla kagesi kudivayisi exhunyiwe, kodwa futhi nokudluliswa kwedatha.

NgoNovemba 2018, i-Smart Connector yayiswa ngemuva kwamamodeli amasha e-iPad Pro (isizukulwane sesithathu esingu-3-intshi kanye nesizukulwane sokuqala esingu-12,9-intshi), okudonsela ukugxekwa ngoshintsho ekusetshenzisweni kwaleli zinga eliselisha. Ngaphandle kwe-Logitech kanye ne-Brydge, babengekho ngempela abanye abakhiqizi abakhulu bezesekeli ngaleso sikhathi ababezothutheleka ukuze basekele isixhumi. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi izinkampani zezinkampani zangaphandle zikhala ngenani eliphezulu lamalayisensi kanye nezikhathi zokulinda zezingxenye zobunikazi. 

Isizukulwane esisha 

Ngokusho kwewebhusayithi yaseJapane i-MacOtakara, uhlobo olusha lwechweba kufanele lufike kulo nyaka, olunamandla okwandisa amakhono e-iPads namadivayisi axhunywe kuwo. Isixhumi samaphini amathathu kufanele sibe izixhumi ezimbili ezinephinikhodi, okuzokwazi ukulawula izesekeli eziyinkimbinkimbi kunekhibhodi nje. Ngeshwa, lokhu kusho ukuthi cishe sizolahlekelwa ukuhambisana kwamakhibhodi akhona nama-iPads asanda kwethulwa, ngoba angasusa i-Smart Connector yamanje ngezindleko zaleyo esanda kulungiswa. Kodwa-ke, i-Apple izokwethula amakhibhodi ahambisanayo kanye nomkhiqizo omusha, kodwa lokhu kuzosho ukutshalwa kwezimali okwengeziwe.

Ukusebenzisa isixhumi ngokwaso kulula ngempela ngoba kulula futhi kunembile. Umphumela wayo kuphela ukusebenziseka kwayo okuphansi. Kodwa-ke, ku-WWDC yalo nyaka, i-Apple ithembise ukwesekwa okubanzi kwabashayeli bezinkampani zangaphandle. Kepha umbuzo uwukuthi ukudlala ngokunethezeka kuma-iPads amakhulu kuzoba nokusekela kwabo. Kunoma yikuphi, ukuhlelwa kwezinhlangothi ezimbili kungasho ukusetshenziswa kwezilawuli ezifana nalezo ezivela ku-Ninteda Switch, lapho ngisho nokusetshenziswa kwamagnetic aqinile kungaba yisixazululo esithakazelisayo ngempela. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, kungenzeka ukusebenzisa isixhumi ngokuxhuma isizukulwane esisha se-HomePod. Kakade ngonyaka odlule wakhuluma, ukuthi kungenzeka "ukuqopha" i-iPad kuyo. Ngakho-ke i-HomePod ingasebenza njengesiteshi esithile sokumisa kanye ne-iPad njengesikhungo semultimedia sasekhaya.
