Do you guys think Apple will ever release Data Migration tool for iPads? I just did the wired version(iPhone to iPhone via Lightning to usb 3 camera adapter) and loved how simple and quick it was. I know you can use iCloud Backups but would love to see a wired iPad to iPad option too.

I'd love to see such an option too. It would make my life so much easier!

It's been so long since I last bought an iPhone that I didn't even know this option existed.

Would certainly love to have it for the iPad. Recently setup a new iPad while I had no wi-fi and a direct iPad-to-iPad migration would've made it so much easier. Since that wasn't an option, I first had to waste over an hour trying to do an iCloud restore over LTE (hotspot) before eventually caving and starting from scratch, installing iTunes on the PC and doing an encrypted backup and restore.
