The camera connection kit is a quirky weird stepchild for Apple.
It works well with about anything on the iPhone - although some devices require a powered lightning cable.
On iPad, the same devices will all work, but it's a lot fussier about what powered lightning cable you use.
For example - I have a USB-C to lightning cable and a USB-PD charger. If I use those with the camera connection kit, my iPhone will access any USB storage device I've connected. It won't work on the iPad. But if use a USB-A to lightning cable to a 2 amp power supply, the same devices work fine on the ipad. go figure.
- wlesieutre 7y agoAnything where they try to stuff a large amount of data over the lightning connector has been finicky, there are a lot of complaints about the HDMI adapters too. Wish they’d just change everything to USB-C, but with them releasing new accessories regularly that charge with lightning, it doesn’t feel likely. Most recently PowerBeats 4 a couple of days ago.
