Don't even care to know what G-suite is; but, I do have 2-step authentication turned on. Got the password message - got a text msg code for authentication - that's all folks! It's working.

An example of G-suite is when Google is the contracted software provider for email and G-apps for an enterprise, say a university or large corporation. I've been asked to authenticate each of my accounts, my G-suite and both my personal accounts, through Safari since the update.....though thankfully not more than once and let's hope it stays that way. For reference I already have two-factor authentication activated.

I hope this is supplier fantasy fluffing and not a grounded rumor. My reaction if Apple were to do this would be, "Are they nuts???" Let me put this very simply. Among other things the iPad is a kid entertainment device. Ditch the headphone jack and you're messing around with one more thing to lose (aka a dongle), expensive proprietary Lightning headphones, or the kid being stuck on wireless headphones with all the question marks on health that entails with small still-developing brains and skulls combined with one more thing to lose (batteries) or throw away (the headphones when the built-in sealed battery fails).

It was a dumb enough idea on the iPhone but at least there, wired headphones can be irritating on such a small product, it's not something you give to small kids anyway, and Apple can legitimately complain about lack of space inside the device.
