Does the 9th gen iPad only come with a USB-C connector?

How do I connect to my PC since my new iPad came with the c connector?

Your new iPad has a USB-C connector - and is supplied with both a USB-C Power Adapter and USB-C to USB-C cable.


The Lightning port has been superseded by the much more useful USB-C port, offering considerably more flexibility and connectivity.


If you need to connect your iPad to a PC or Mac that have the much older USB Type-A ports, you simply require a USB Type-A to USB-C cable. These are readily available from good computer stores - and Apple.


Here is just one example of a certified cable manufactured by Mophie - and marketed by Apple:
