    All iPads USB 3 Lightning speed test on iPad Pro 10.5

    I purchased Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter yesterday and do a simple speed test with my 2017 iPad Pro 10.5. (using Samsung T3 Portable SSD 1TB) The result is surprising me. I expected the speed will be at 100-200MB/s but the real speed is nearly identical to desktop PC. The read speed is...

    My iPhone's Lightning Port Works, BUT Will Not Charge Once Turned On?

    I’m having the most bizarre problem. (I have posted this in a few other forums to no avail -- hopefully y'all can help!) My headphones work perfectly when I plug them into the lightning jack — they never get disconnected, or have any issue whatsoever. But when I unplug the headphones and plug...

    iPad Pro External SSD connectivity iPad Pro (10.5”)

    Weird one, and I’ll preface by saying I know iPadOS is in beta, so it COULD be a bug. Recently bought the Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter, with the intent of using my 10.5” iPad Pro with a Samsung T5 SSD. One of the more celebrated features of iPadOS is the support for these drives. But...

    Connecting to PC via USB 3.0

    I have an iPhone 8, and I want to copy videos off and onto my Windows PC. The lightning-to-USB connector that came with the iPhone seems to be USB 2.0; file transfer takes forever. What connectors do I need to use to get USB 3.0 speeds? I assume if I get the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter and...

    Lightning to 30 pin adapter no longer works in iOS 12?

    I have an older model Boston Duo-I compact office stereo that dates back to my iPhone 4s days. Of course, it has a 30 pin connector to match the 4s. For a couple years after I upgraded to an iPhone 6 I was able to still play music through it and charge the iPhone 6 using an official Apple...

    iPhone 8/Plus iPhone 8 Plus lightning headphone adapter unreliable

    The lightning port on my iPhone 8 Plus is unreliable when using headphones with the lightning-to-headphone adapter.

    Third-Party accessories that respect set volume limit?

    I've had the iPhone 8 for just over a week now, and I am having serious issues with finding lightning jack adapters and bluetooth devices that don't ignore the volume limit I use for listening to music. I'm pretty sensitive to loud noises and music, and any accessories besides the original jack...

    Love my X, but ready to return it over the lightning adapter audio quality.

    I upgraded from a 5S, so almost everything about the X is a huge upgrade... except one major downgrade, and that's audio quality using the lightning adapter with my headphones. I'm currently using a pair of Audio-Technica MSR7NC headphones, but with the adapter music sounds less dynamic with a...
