SCICNCE Lightning to USB 3.0 Camera Adapter Compatible with iPhone iPad, iPhone USB Adapter with 2 USB 3.0 and 1 Charging Port, No Application, Plug and Play (White)

The device does exactly what I need it to: USB slot for extra storage (iPad only has 64GB - my 256GB Samsung Fit drive fits (pun intended) nicely and helps avoid video/music files using up precious internal space) and another USB for peripherals (I have an army of Logitech devices with the Unifying receiver). There is also a lightning port for charging. While a single USB port would be even more compact; with 2 ports, I no longer have to remove the USBs from either slot.My only concern with these types of products are that they appear to use the same iPhone/iPad cable material and we all know how prone to breakage they can be right underneath the connector. I would have loved the braided style I see with USB C adapters. I'll be keeping my eye on it and treating it gently but as of now, it does everything I need it to.

I don’t like the new iPhone design and have been trying hard to keep my 8 Plus working, but have come close to running out of space several times. My one pup passed away recently and I wanted to add a bunch of videos back so I could watch them frequently, but I didn’t have enough space. I was able to add them all to a USB stick and watch any video I want by connecting it to the phone with this device. ❤️

just what I needed

This 3-in-1 Lightning to USB 3.0 Adapter has a much better design than many other brands out in the market. With the 3 input ports, you can watch movies from a USB drive, use a wired headset via a USB port, and charge your iPhone simultaneously. Many lightning-to-USB adapters have only a single USB port and don't have a charging port. The experience of watching movies from a USB drive from this adapter is excellent. Thanks to its USB 3.0 support. While watching movies, I can charge my phone at the same time when needed. I can also connect my noise-canceling headphone using the second USB port. This feature is great for me because wireless headsets often run out of battery on a plane or trip. I'm happy with my decision from the SCICNCE brand and looking forward to purchasing other products from SCICNCE.

My adaptor is not working. I've been trying to use it to send audio from my mixer to my iPhone for high quality audio streaming, but couldn't get it to work. While I'm trying to troubleshoot the issue, I just try to simply charge my iPhone through the lightning port in the middle, and my phone won't even charge. So I believe the adapter itself is faulty as it is not passing anything through to my phone at all. Please help troubleshoot or send me an exchange please

This product is very easy to use, great price and makes the whole process simple and fast. Just your phone and this product is all you need.

Tried this to hook USB audio interface to iPad. When lightning cable plugged into it for power there is noise that makes it through to the audio. Tried every different apple charger and then battery packs, apple cords, other cords, noise comes from adapter as soon as Lightning power is plugged in.Giving 3 stars despite this because it did seem to connect and offer USB functionality. If you have an application that is not audio-dependent it would probably be fine.I say probably because I bought the official Apple USB3 camera kit with Lightning in for charging and it did a firmware update on it when I plugged it in! So Apple is good about pushing out updates to their hardware, I suspect they're less concerned about updates for other MFI hardware.I did get the "this hardware may not be supported" nag with the SCICNCE, but the adapter worked anyway, albeit noisily.So, adapter seems OK for non-audio applications, if you're hooking up a guitar or mic to your iPad or iPhone you may eventually have to pony up for the official Apple version.

Not really much to say other than it did exactly what it was supposed to do. So that’s cool
