Great, just need to make sure I have a dongle and a 10' HDMI cable in my iPad bag.

Why would you need a dongle? I never understood this complaint. If you need a dongle you just bought the wrong cable. Instead of a dongle and an HDMI-to-HDMI cable, you could just have gotten a USB-C to HDMI cable.

Same goes for basically every other scenario where people complain about needing dongles.

  • Sometimes you're given an HDMI cable to plug into your device, like in an office meeting room. Or in the article's case, a classroom.
