Plug & Play Functionality: No additional apps or drivers are required for basic camera use. Connecting the adapter and camera will prompt the “Photos” app on the iOS device to open, allowing you to select and import media.
Data Transfer: It enables the transfer of photos and videos (including 4K video on iPhone 7 and later models) from a high-resolution digital camera or an external storage device to your Apple device. For iOS 13 and later, two-way transfer of various files like MP3s, MP4s, PDFs, Word, and Excel documents is often supported via the “Files” app.
Versatile Peripheral Support (OTG): The adapter offers USB On-The-Go (OTG) functionality, allowing connectivity to various USB peripherals such as keyboards, mice, card readers, MIDI keyboards, and guitars, provided the accessory’s current consumption does not exceed 500 mA.
Simultaneous Charging (on some models): Certain adapters include an extra port (e.g., another Lightning or a Micro-USB input) specifically for connecting a power source, enabling you to charge your iOS device while using the adapter.
