10 Best iPad docking stations on the market in 2022: Comparison Table
An iPad docking station is a combination USB cradle and multimedia extension system for Apple-branded tablets. Similar to docking stations for phones, these provide usually one of two ways in which the tablet can be situated in a vertical position, with either Bluetooth or corded speakers, often a remote control, and modulated USB power to charge the device while in use.
In some cases, these docking stations are universal, compatible with Windows, Android and Apple products, the problem being that Apple has this tendency to use absurd proprietary USB form factors for their chargers, often leading people to have to purchase dedicated docking stations for these devices. Another reason why dedicated iPad docking stations are popular is that the iPad itself has a somewhat absurd form factor, not being quite as long compared to its height as other tablets. This proprietary approach to the USB and the tablet form factor does not in any way contribute to an increased quality nor performance, and are simply the result of Apple wanting to be different for the sake of difference. However, it is worth noting that you don’t have to fall for Apple’s tactics, and need and purchase an Apple-branded docking station – any iPad compatible docking station or just as well as one actually bearing the Apple logo.
