How exactly is USB 3.0 supported??

[nickosbad]

Hiya, thinking of getting a 10.5 iPad Pro to replace my iPad Air 2

The new Pro is apparently compatible with USB 3.0 but I can't find much info to say how this works....

My iMac has USB 3.0 ports so if I connect the supplied USB that comes in the box then will my movies transfer at USB 3.0 Speeds?

Cheers

This is where it gets a bit stupid. It's only with the specific adapters Apple supplies, such as the camera kit.

Good info Casper. Is it a noticeable difference?

I have no personal experience with it honestly. I've just read up on it. Can't say definitively.

This may help understand the improvements.
