Review: Fast and easy, but read my UPDATE … - UPDATE - October 2, 2024. This adapter works with iPhone 13 on iOS 18, but not with iPad Mini6 on iPadOS 17.7. Just a heads up. At the time I bought it everything worked good with the older model iPhone and iPad 8th Gen, mainly because this is a lightning not USB C plug in. Had to buy a new Apple adapter (here on desertcart, genuine Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter) to get everything going again on file transfer for the iPad Mini6. Also, I noted in my original review below, this lightning to USB 3 adapter needs an additional power supply (wall plug) to operate the transfer. The new USB C Digital AV Multiport Adapter does not require extra power to work. A real plus! Plug that baby into your iPad or iPhone that has a USB C charging port and you’re good to go. ORIGINAL REVIEW - This adapter was exactly what I was looking for to transfer photos to/from a PC to iOS and iPadOS devices. Initially the not enough power notification came through as noted by others until I realized it needed to be plugged into the wall, or a power bank. Once the lightning port was plugged into the adapter and connected to a power source with my Apple cable and wall plug (or power bank), I then connected the usb with my photos copied from the PC to the USB port on the adapter. Final step was connecting the whole unit to the iPhone with the adapter’s lightning cable. My iPhone Files app read the drive and the usb with jpg files was recognized and placed onto the list of Locations for the iPhone Files app. Simply tapped the files I wanted to download into my photos app and they were there in just a very short time. It also works with a power bank while mobile. This procedure also worked flawlessly with my iPad running on iPadOS 14.8. But take note, the power supply for the iPadOS must be its original charging plug for the files to transfer. It’s a higher power source to adequately accommodate the function of the adapter itself. I can also transfer jpg files to the usb from my IPhone and iPad to the PC. I noticed when uploading these files to the usb from my iOS device there are duplicate file types. One is recognizable as a standard jpg file and the other is a type of file not recognized by my PC. Not sure about the whys and the wherefores specific to this transfer, but the file that is compatible with the computer is standard identity where jpg files are concerned. The odd name has a couple of characters in it before the common file name. I downloaded both to the desktop and put the common file name into a file I created on the PC and deleted the other. Hope this helps and makes sense. I’m not a tech guru but I do enough trial and error based on common logic to get results. There is also a YouTube video that shows steps for working with file transfers on iOS devices from a PC.
Review: Apple original - Arrived perfectly and works fine with my iPhone.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you hook up a midi keyboard to ipad pro with this adapter?**
A: Yes. You can also accomplish the same MIDI connectivity with some of the $7 "Lighting to USB" connectors, but this adapter has another lightning port for the purpose of charging while connected to USB.

**Q: For clarification, the ports on this are USB camera and a second lightning(female) port?**
A: Correct, it connects to the Lightning port on your iPad/iPhone and allows you to connect a USB device and a Lightning cable.

**Q: Is it possible to tranfer photos from an iphone to an ipad pro?**
A: Yes. Any iOS device acts like a camera device when plugged into USB. So if you have this dongle on your iPad Pro connected to a regular lightning to USB cable on the iPhone, the iPhone will pop up as a connected camera device on your iPad Pro.

**Q: Can i listen to audio through headphones (or another audio device) connected to the lightning port at the same time as i use the usb port?**
A: I tested with the lightening port earbuds as well as the lightening to headphone jack adapter and it kept giving an 'Accessory Not Supported' message.  So, it appears that they are only allowing the lightning port on the adapter for power.  However, I did buy a usb hub recently that has a traditional headphone jack and it WILL allow me to use the USB functionality + wired headphones.  Below is the link to the usb hub on Amazon:
