The Inky Frame 7.3″ with Pico 2 W comes with an optional accessory kit that includes two metal legs, a 3x AA battery pack, three AA batteries, a Type-B Micro USB cable, a Velcro square for attaching the battery pack, and a microSD card. The standalone Inky Frame is priced at $94.50, while the version with the accessory kit costs $104.90.

Micro USB! These days I would avoid anything that doesn't use USB-C connectors.

From the picture of the back it looks like it's actually the micro usb connector of the pi pico board which is soldered on.

Don't know if there's any newer pico boards with usb c already.
