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)

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. ❤️

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.

This adapter works great. I've connected a USB flash drive, mouse, ethernet adapter and SD reader - all without any issues. As clearly mentioned in the description, this adapter has a power limitation of 1.5A which means the max current you can charge with this connected is about 8 watts (5V * 1.5A). The reason I could not give this a perfect review is the device is labeled as supporting USB 3.0 (and even the USB ports are colored blue to imply 3.0), but I confirmed (using multiple devices) that this is bottlenecked at 2.0 speeds. And nowhere on the device packaging does it say 3.0 other than "Lightning to USB/3.0mm Adapter" 🤔. But even with the lack of 3.0 speeds, this is an excellent value, works perfectly and I would definitely recommend.

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

Weak wire connection. Lasted about 1 month. I don’t recommend.

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.

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.

Been tinkering with this device and no problems from my perspective…from time to time read usb flash drives a little slow but same thing happens on pc time to time …. So I wouldn’t call it a flaw …. Just make sure you are using official apple charger when using on iPad it’s the only charger that actually charges while using device … any other aftermarket charger will show it’s charging but will discharge slowly …. But again not a flaw of device just thinks it’s apple being finicky with devices attached to it

I wouldn’t recommend to buy it. It’s not working when I connected to phone .Not working with hard disc as well
