My dad and my brother use ipad pros for their healthcare business and rarely use laptops. For them, the year of real work happened several years ago. My brother even has a mouse for it somehow.

What's the "somehow" about the mouse? They've supported that for a while now.

Exactly - any USB mouse via the USB-C connector (or lightning camera adapter before that) works. External displays also work via USB-C.

I believe it, but it's not something I've ever see in the wild. I have seen people using a trackpad in a keyboard folio, though.
