Just like smartphones, tablets also function better when you have accessories that can either extend their capabilities or make them easier to use. Most additions, you can live without, but it also would be much better to have them. Here are a few you can purchase.
If you're using your iPad for work, then it'll be much faster to transfer files if you have a hub that connects your tablet to other devices. This iPad Pro USB C Hub, for example, lets you add seven new ports such as HDMI, a 3.5mm audio jack, a USB-C data port, a USB 3.0 port, and more.
The hub allows you to mirror or extend your iPad Pro's screen through a 4K HDMI output and directly stream at 30Hz, or Ultra HD, 2K, and 1080p at 60Hz. It's compatible with iPad Pro 11-inch and 12-inch, iPad Air 5, iPad Air 4, and iPad mini 6.
Whether it's for drawing or taking notes, having an iPad pencil can come in handy. There are two options to charge it such as the magnetic suction or wired charging. Fully charging it will only take about an hour and a half, and you can use it for up to nine hours.
It uses a 1.2 mm nib with a texture that allows smooth and accurate strokes. You can even use it to write down notes. The pen is compatible with devices like iPads 6 to 10, the iPad Pro 11-inch and 12.9-inch, and iPad mini 5 and 6.
This can be used for other tablets as well. With the pillow stand, you'll be able to enjoy the view of the screen without holding it or laying it flat. You can use it for your lap, on a desk, and even in bed. It has four viewing angles to accommodate multiple height levels.
The grooves that sit at the bottom of the stand serve as support so your device won't slide down. It also has pockets on the side to hold other things like your smartphone or your iPad pencil. Because of its size, it can support devices up to 13 inches in size.
You can just as easily put it in any normal bag, but most will not have the kind of padding that will protect your iPad from outside impact. It's best to purchase one that's well suited to holding your device, especially if you travel a lot with it.
This particular bag has a shoulder strap and handle which makes it perfect for carrying. It's dust and waterproof and has a compartment for other accessories like your mouse, iPad pencil earphones, smartphone, chargers, and other cords.
When you're using your iPad for work, you'll likely need to type often, which is why having a compatible keyboard can save you from the difficulties of typing on a bigger touchscreen. This keyboard also doubles as a case for your device.
It uses a magnetic stand, so you won't have to endure corner holders that can damage the iPad. Plus, it already comes with a trackpad so you won't need to connect a mouse. You can turn your tablet into a functioning computer in no time.
