Here are the best accessories to buy for your new iPad
Did you get a new iPad for Christmas. Lucky you. Here are some of the best accessories to improve the iPad experience.
Apple's iPads are on a roll. In Apple's last earnings report, iPad revenue grew by an incredible 79% year-on-year. And just weeks ago, Apple announced the updated iPad Pro which features the company's amazing M1 chip.
Over the years, we’ve been adding on accessories to help improve the iPad's functionality. Devices like Bluetooth keyboards, mice, and hardened cases have turned the iPad from a mere tablet to a bona fide tool for professionals. And besides Apple-manufactured accessories, there are quite a few third-party vendors who have all jumped on the iPad bandwagon.
So, given the updates to the iPad, it felt like a good time to take a look at some of the accessories that are available for use with the iPad.

Well, now you can not only still listen to them, but also share your audio wirelessly using the Twelve South AirFly Pro.

It can also connect to two devices simultaneously and switch quickly between them. It supports AAC and LDAC (no AptX, sadly), and plays music through 40mm dynamic drivers.
