#COMPACT CARD READER FOR IPAD PRO PRO#
I double-checked that this was indeed the new StudioDock designed for the 2021 iPad Pro and confirmed it was, so I tried some of the other troubleshooting tricks and finally had to reach out to Kensington customer support. It seemed to be attached, but there was no indication that the iPad was charging. The iPad attached magnetically to the dock’s backplate, which was a nice touch, but then I ran into an issue when trying to slide it down onto the USB-C connector. I carefully unpacked all of the contents, attached the charger, and everything was going smoothly - until it was time to connect my iPad Pro.

First impressions and a couple of speed bumps That’s the specific dock I was able to review. The latest StudioDock went on sale at the end of January, and it just so happens I recently upgraded to that big, new iPad Pro.

Financial part aside, it didn’t take long for Kensington to announce a StudioDock compatible with the 2021 iPad Pro 12.9-inch model. That had to be frustrating for Kensington, but even worse for consumers who upgraded to the latest iPad only to find out it won’t work with the $400 dock they bought a few months before. That might not sound like much, but it was enough to make it incompatible with the StudioDock. While it looked just like the previous generation, the new one was 0.5 mm thicker. Seems pretty straightforward, right? It was until last fall when Apple released the all-new 12.9-inch iPad Pro. In early 2021, Kensington released two versions of the StudioDock: Apple Watch charging attachment sold separately for $69.99Ī luxury to be sure, and you have to make sure to choose the right one.StudioDock ranges from $379.99 to $3.99.99 depending on iPad.Includes two Qi wireless pads to charge your iPhone and AirPods.Other ports include an SD card reader, 3.5mm audio jack and gigabit Ethernet.Single 4K HDMI and four USB (three USB-A and one USB-C) ports.
