Apple is reportedly working on a new accessibility feature that would allow the iPad to support USB mice.
MacStories editor Federico Viticci shared the rumor in a recent 'Connected' podcast.
"What I heard is that without adapters you will be able to use any USB mouse on your iPad but as an accessibility device."
Developer Steve Troughton-Smith corroborated the report in a Tweet yesterday.
If you missed last week's @_connectedfm, @viticci had a pretty interesting scoop that he'd been sitting on re mouse support coming to iPad as an accessibility feature. As far as I'm aware, that *is* indeed in the works. I feel like every pro user will turn that on, day one
He continues to say that the new feature makes sense given that UIKit is adopting API for mouse support on Mac.
Take a listen to the podcast for more details starting at the 1:08 mark.
