Apple's new iPad Pro is not compatible with any external storage devices

Critics are praising the new iPad Pro for its design, its display, its improved Apple Pencil design, and more. But reviewers have also caught one particular hiccup with the new iPad: though it features a USB-C port instead of a Lightning port for the first time, that new connector isn't compatible with external storage.

Here's Nilay Patel from The Verge:

[...] Apple says third parties can write apps to talk to external storage, but out of the box, this $1899 tablet simply won’t talk to a flash drive."
Unlike Apple's Lightning connector, or even older forms of USB, the new USB-C port in the iPad Pro allows for the transfer of both power and data. So technically, it should be able to transfer storage to a secondary device. But Apple doesn't seem to want that

[...] Apple probably doesn't want people buying the cheapest storage option and augmenting that with a cheap external storage device; it would lose out on a lot of money.
