    I bought 3 of these in the same day . All of them refused to connect to my iPad , so you must be thinking “ my iPad isn’t compatible” only it is . I checked before purchasing. Even had an employee from geek squad assist me with it and he was at a loss because he couldn’t connect it . So I called square and they told me it’s a hardware issue . I had to settle for the one that connects through the charging port .
