The all new 12.9-inch iPad Pro supports USB 3.0 transfer speed through modified lightning Port. iFixit discovered a Fresco Logic FL1100 4-Port USB 3.0 host controller which indicates USB 3.0 file transfer speed.

Many reviewers mentioned that iPad Pro will support USB 3.0 speed with upcoming adapters or accessories. But today iFixit confirmed that Apple's new large screen tablet is capable of transferring data at the speed of USB 3.0.

USB 3.0 transferring speed is a huge difference from previous lightning ports on the iPads and iPhones. The previously lightning port can transfer data at the rate of 25 to 35MB/s which is no more than a normal USB 2.0. But with the all new USB 3.0 speed iPad Pro is capable of transferring data at the rate of up to 625MB/s. USB 3.0 speed support was rumored a long ago to arrive in all Apple device, but now in iPad Pro we can see it in action.

A new report says new upcoming adapter will enable users to transfer data at the speed of USB 3.0, but the release date is not mentioned. Apple can also release new lightning cables that would be capable of transferring data at the speed of USB 3.0, but it's still not clear.

This is another great feature in iPad Pro. Do you agree ?
