Yesterday was another big day for Apple. Through a press release, it presented its new range of iPads as well as the new Apple TV. It’s something that’s been rumored for a few weeks now and it finally happened. Among the novelties are the new generation of standard iPad, the new generation of iPad Pro and a new keyboard called Magic Keyboard Folio. One of the novelties of the new generation of iPad it is the complete removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack that has accompanied the product since its inception. With this, Apple completes the transition to permanently removing this connector from its tablets.
iPad says goodbye to 3.5mm headphones
The 3.5mm headphone jack is referred to as the “3.5 jack”. It has been present for a while in many Apple products with the integration of its Lightning connector. We are witnessing a clear drift towards the disappearance of this last connector to include USB-C. However, what concerns us today is the complete removal of all remaining 3.5mm headphone jacks with the arrival of the new generation.
This is the case of 10th generation iPad. This is the standard model Apple has redesigned it closer to the design of the rest of the models: the iPad Air and the iPad Pro. Thanks to this, this design covers all current models except for the 9th generation of the standard model which is still on the market and has the previous design.

The novelty of this new 10th generation is the Removing the 3.5mm headphone jack. Until now, the standard model had always carried this connector. It’s good news because it puts an end to cable headsets with this connector to make room for wireless headphones or headphones with USB-C connector. If we have 3.5mm headphones, we will have to buy a USB-C adapter to be able to use them.
So, Apple sells all of its models without a headphone jack except the 9th generation the standard model. The continuation, and a little further from this subject, is that the big apple will remove all Lightning connectors from its products, in particular iPhones, to comply with European regulations and, above all, to finalize the homogenization of chargers.
