  This is a macOS thread, but it would be helpful if Apple allows micro SD cards to be connected to the lightning port of iOS devices.

      That is mostly limited to copying photos and videos to/from the "Photo Roll". There are many thousands of applications which process other file formats. Some of them have natively implemented support for a 3rd-party (expensive) storage device called iXpand, which itself comes with a poorly implemented app. These third-party applications are poorly and pointlessly (re) implementing basic OS file system I/O functions. Is it possible that these pointless I/O hoops are hampering uptake of $1000 iPad Pros for "laptop" use cases?
