I’m confused, I have the latest M2 iPad Pro and it works with just about any USB-C accessory. As did my previous M1 iPad Pro. No iPad with USB-C needs a specific MFi charger for full speed charging. If the charger is lower wattage, it will charge slower, but that’s the case with all devices.

The 10th Gen iPad is limited in charging and transfer speeds unlike the rest of the iPad lineup.

Are you talking about fast charging? That’s nothing to do with MFi. Fast charging requires a 30 watt charger I believe, but it doesn’t need to be Apple branded. In the iPad’s box they only provide a 20 watt wall plug, which doesn’t offer the fastest charging possible for the iPad. If you use 30 watt chargers or higher, like from a MacBook, it charges faster. Same with the iPad Pro I have. Neither needs MFi specific cables or anything like that.

It has nothing to do with MFI. It has to do with Apple putting a lower USB C standard in it than what your pro has.

What do you mean lower USB-C standard though? If you use the included 20 watt charger, it won’t charge as fast as it can do. If you use a 30 watt or higher charger it will.

The only difference with the iPad Pro is it’s USB-C port also has Thunderbolt 4. Data transfer might be faster to Thunderbolt compatible devices, but that’s a different story. Thunderbolt has never been included in any non-Pro iPad.
