If I could just get a USB port on my IPad, it’d be awesome. I’m not sure why Apple insists on no data interface.
We have three computers in house. IPad, my wife’s Win7, and my piece of garbage Win8. My wife wants to drop her Win7 for an IPad.
We both agree, like it or not, we have to keep the Win8 for storage and stick drive maker.
If Apple would just reconsider a USB port, I could ditch windows forever. I know this is a thread about IPhones and how far they’ve come....
But. If Apple could just come this little bit further with the IPad......
Sigh.
You can. There are adapters. Part of the reason is security. If the iPad and iPhone had such data interfaces, they would not be allowed in a lot of Enterprise environments. Same with removable cards. They are not secure with such ports or cards.
There are viable alternatives to get data on and off of your iPads such as DropBox, iCloud, Google Drive, etc., all of which work with the iPad and iPhone. . . that don't compromise security. Even Google has realized it's mistake and has removed support for memory cards in its latest official incarnation of Android.
I didn’t understand that either. They also just recently rendered the charger cords obselete as well. So older ones in perfect condition for an iPod now are useless. Go figure.

There is an adapter. Also wifi discs.
