Are MIDI commands (for virtual instrument apps) supported natively on newer model iPads?

My existing iPad (9th generation) is a great platform for music performance apps, when linked to / controlled by my MIDI piano-style keyboard. BUT I need a camera kit adapter to link USB to the lightning port for MIDI communication. Before I upgrade to a newer iPad with USB-C charging port, I would like to know which models support MIDI communications natively (without a special adapter.)
