In that one place
My trusty launch 64GB iPad Mini 4 may be retired now that I've seen the new iPad OS but I have a few questions and a couple of them may not be answerable until the new OS is actually out.
1. Is there a magnet for the pencil?
2. Will the new OS allow for Bluetooth file transfers to non-iOS devices like Androids or PCs?
3. With the camera connector cable can I plug a flash drive into the new iPad OS?

Thanks!

I have also read one or two reports from owners of a mini 4 saying that it runs iPad OS just fine. Just saying.

1. No - it only support pencil 1.
2. No - I don’t think third party apps can even do this (use Bluetooth in this way).
3. Most likely only with a power source, with the new camera connection kit. Though depends on the type of drive. Also you will be limited to usb 2 speed, same as mini 4 in that regard.
