Other ports available on the hub include an HDMI port with 4K 60Hz video, a USB-C port with 60W Power Delivery, microSD and SD card readers, a USB-A port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The hub is priced at $99.99 in the United States and it is available now on Hyper's website. An included USB-C extension cable allows the hub to work with other USB-C devices.

Why would you pay $99 for this. I got basically the same thing minus the playback buttons back in February on Amazon for $35. The one I got even has an extra USB-C port for data. You can use playback buttons on screen pretty easily. iPad Pro USB C Hub, 7-in-1 Adapter for iPad Pro ('https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087BTVJX6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1')
