I had the same USB C adaptor from another company and had no power consumption issues with the PD port, but it really heated up and affected performance when doing heavy duty stuff. So I just got the big Anker 11-in-1 USB C hub, but be careful of the power load as Anker told me most of their hubs need at least 15w to function all the ports and the offset will go to the PD pass through. However, if that offset isn’t enough to power a connected device - it won’t. They advised me to get a more powerful power plug instead of the 20w Apple OEM plug. I ordered the Anker Nano 3, hopefully that fixes my power issues.

Any extension cord to connect the Anker to the IPad with a bulky case. Thank you.

[rowlanddexter]

Hi you mentioned that the new design allowed for the IPad to be in a case, I assume this means the connector is longer than the original? I had to used an additional cable to go between the IPad and the original version of the hub because of the thickness of the case I have. Not needing the need the cable would be great.

Thanks for a very informative video! I have an iPad Pro 11” 2022. For music and video production, can you recommend a USB-C Hub? My iPad has a Targus case. Some hubs are reported to have a 3mm Headphone Socket that doesn’t allow volume control. Some hubs wear out the iPad battery faster. Any recommendations?

[VitorZanoni]

The problem starts when we try to mix it with a case/fold because the borders don’t fit 😢 However I got the Anker 565 and it was the best thing I ever see in a while. Its a little more expensive I know, but it is awesome and very very resistent. 😊 Nice Review as usual ❤

[filotest]

Interesting video, thank you! Please let me ask you about audio output. You have set your Arturia soundcard to Anker hub. What was happened with Anker's 3.5mm jack output at that time? Was it disabled or both headphone outputs (Anker, Arturia) are active at the same time? I have no idea how it works especially for GarageBand where you can set almost nothing. The best scenario for me is that connected Arturia takes all audio to itself.

[JoseeAlana]

Thanks. I’ve already returned two hubs that don’t work with interface or headphones. I’ll try this next.

[Harrybollox]

Any lag on audio is what I was looking for in the review, but thanks anyway

[TheOverlordOfProcrastination]

I recently sent an Anker 7 in 1 powered hub back, which I had hoped to use with my focusright Scarlett but it wouldn’t charge my iPad at the same time, the very reason I bought it.
Reluctant to trust Anker products due to this.

[philliplanos]

Can we use the USB-C port to connect to an external monitor too? I realize it has HDMI but it would be great if it worked through the USB-C too.

As somebody from scotland it was nice to hear the word "shoogly" used 😂

[fernandoscolletion]

Makes no sense, you need a USB-C PD port to feed the ipad, so no posibility to connect the, for example, the EVO 4 and a Sandisk. Minimum to work with music you need 3 USB-C ports: 1 PD and 2 for Data

[dangotit]

Does anyone have any updates on how it worked for them??

[JoelMachado-ei]

Hello! I am a street musician and I would like to know if it's possible to power the ipad and midi keyboard by a powerbank, also if it's possible to use the jack as well, I don't need the audio interface, right? Thanks for the video!

[scottbutterly]

Hi, I’m looking for one of these for my iPad 9th generation. Lightning charger input. Have you any recommendations please ? I’m hoping to use with an audio interface . Thank you

[romarothomas]

Does your iPad have a screen protector on it? Mine does and I have to flip the hub around in order to use it, are there any screen protectors that you can recommend that works with the hub?

[stevenbuenaventura]

does external monitor display work for this? i alr bought 3 diff brands but none of them worked on my ipad pro and they were not refundable im so traumatized so i hope this one works

[RobertoBlatt]

Mas nesse caso a possibilidade ter uma interface de audio ao mesmo tempo que um controlador Midi se perdeu, certo?

[rhythmbox]

Thanks for the video. This is going to sound like a super dumb question but I am a newbie to using GarageBand in general and a newbie in connecting MIDI keyboards to an iPad Pro, so please moderate flamer use please! I so far connect said iPad to said keyboard using an Apple USB-C adapter with use of a MIDI/USB adapter. Works fine.

Bought this after checking out this video and tried to use the USB A port on it to stick my MIDI converter into, but no dice. How do you manage to link keyboard or controller with your iPad using this? Have to say, the main reason I bought this was to link both AND get headphones connectivity as well as HDMI to connect iPad to a nice big display. Maybe I have just been really dense here, but any pointers greatly appreciated, thanks 🙏
