Has anyone experience or estimates on what transfer speeds are to expect when transferring data to/from the latest gen. iPad Pro 10.5 using a USB-C to lightning cable? Scenarios might be
- creating an iTunes backup
- syncing movies, music and other media via iTunes
- copying photos, videos using iTunes or some photo organizer app
- transferring documents to apps using the iTunes app documents feature
- …
USB 2 is really ancient now, and I expect a modern device as expensive as the iPad to offer faster transfer speeds than USB 2. So it would be great to know if the USB-C to lightning cable is worth buying. Thanks!

The iPad Pro 10.5"-inch model supports USB 3, so it is not the "ancient" USB 2 as you mention.
USB-C only refers to the plug, so it hasn't got anything specifically to do with the USB-C to Lighting cable - you can achieve the same, higher speeds using a USB-A port when using a USB 3 compatible cable and USB 3 capable port.
