![]() One annoyance is that if you’re using Apple’s Smart Cover, you’ll have to remove it in order to reveal the Smart Connector pins. Although, keep in mind I tested the 9.7-inch iPad Pro with the Base and results could vary with the larger model. In my testing, however, I didn’t notice any major differences. One thing I was curious about was whether or not there would be any difference in charging times between using the Smart Connector or plugging the Lightning cable directly into the iPad Pro. ![]() This is especially useful for the larger and heavier 12.9-inch iPad Pro that would potentially cause the dock to fall over or be unstable.Īs soon as you place your iPad Pro on the LOGI Base it begins to charge via the Smart Connector. ![]() On the bottom of the Base is a slightly sticky adhesive material that prevents it from sliding around or potentially falling over while your iPad Pro is docked. The Smart Connector pins are housed on a black strip so they’re easy to find and connect to, while there’s a Logi logo above those pins. As you can see in the images, the Base is designed so that the iPad Pro is angled at what Logitech says is the “perfect viewing angle for enjoying apps and entertainment.” Personally, I would have liked to see a slightly lower angle, but presumably in order to make the Smart Connector functionality work reliably Logitech had to angle it at what it did. The stand is made out of high-grade aluminum, so it blends in very nicely with any color iPad Pro. In terms of design, the Base is high quality and well executed in several ways. This means that you can dock your iPad Pro to the Smart Connector and charge it just like you would when you dock an iPhone. On the surface, the Base looks similar to various other charging docks we’ve seen over the years, but look closer and you’ll see Smart Connector prongs and a Lightning port on the back. So far, we’ve only seen a few keyboard cases that take advantage of the feature, but now Logitech is announcing its LOGI Base Charging Stand with Smart Connector for iPad Pro and I’ve been using it for the past few days… Since the start, the potential of the Smart Connector has intrigued me. Well, there were too main reasons: Apple Pencil and Smart Connector. When I first wrote about this switch, some people were curious as to why I went with the more expensive 9.7-inch iPad Pro over the cheaper iPad Air. As I’ve detailed in the past, I originally purchased the 12.9-inch iPad Pro last November before switching to the to 9.7-inch model last month due to the lack of software optimization on Apple’s part. ![]()
