    MIDI to iPad is a yes
    Like so many people here I bought this to use with my 88 key full size midi keyboard. If it works for that I’m happy, although I know and can appreciate that other people may have all kind of other expectations and may say they love or despise this adapter based on how well it works for them. The only thing I can definitely state as a negative is I know this thing must cost about ten cents to manufacturer – it is grossly overpriced at almost forty bucks.GENUINEDespite the price I’ve learned a long time ago that if you want to ride in the Apple parade you have to stop trying to cut corners and go cheap with accessories from questionable sources – buy genuine stuff and it will probably do what you want it to and if not just send it back and move on.The unfortunate reality though is that even if you think you are buying genuine stuff you have no idea what the thousands of online sellers are trying to palm off, which is why I usually get stuff like this from the manufacturer’s brick and mortar store. Otherwise you take your chances. I did, and doubly so because I chose to get it from the warehouse.USEDIf you don’t know about the warehouse deals you should. There are things that I might give a second thought to buying that somebody else already had, like underwear, but for something like this the choice was either to drop close to forty bucks on a new one rather than go with a clone, or get one they describe as like new. Almost every time I make that decision I save big and get something that looks like it’s never been touched. How much you save varies but for me it was half off.YES OR NOBottom line is it works for me so I’m happy. You will never know if it will work for you by reading somebody’s review, you have to take the plunge and press the buy button and trust it will.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2023

    I sprang for this after much reading about what it takes to use a simple flash drive with an iPad. This is where Apple snobbola gets ridiculous, as no one should have to read about what it takes to use a simple flash drive with an iPad, and no one should have to pay what one of these Apple dongles costs. Yet according to a slew of reviews, barring using a power pack (which would cost even more), it's this device and only this device that you want.

    Despite my irritation with Apple, I'm not docking the device any stars because its maker has assumed an elevated level of existence and charges way too much for it. The thing works. And it's simple to use.

    Edited August 8, 2023 - I just discovered this dongle WILL NOT WORK with a 64 GB flash drive. I get a "lack of power" reading. However, it still works fine with a 32 GB flash drive that I've been using all along. I noticed another reviewer complaining that Apple's new update for iPad "broke" the dongle, which now doesn't work, period. Whatever the story, the dongle still does work with a lower-GB flash drive for me. I certainly can't see how anyone would be able to use an external hard drive right now, considering there isn't enough power for a 64 GB flash drive. Apple needs to look into this, because for 40 bucks, someone should be able to use this dongle with just about anything.

    Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2023

    This adapter worked well for quite a while. I found it worked a lot better for flash drives and SD card adapters since it is powered using the lightning port. It didn't charge my phone too well but the usb device connection was very stable compared to the non-powered lightning to USB OTG adapters. However, with the recent iOS updates it no longer works. It will say “this device requires too much power” as if the lightning port is disabled. However, if you can find an iPhone with an older iOS (e.g. 16.1, the current is 16.5 at the time of writing) you will probably find it surprisingly DOES work. I noticed this started since updating to 16.4 or 16.4(a). I’m going to submit a bug report about it. You all should too, because I don’t think the adapters are necessarily to blame. Perhaps there is a revision coming to them as well that would warrant RMAs. There may some device security patch against them and thats why they no longer work and we can get them replaced.

    Edit 6/25/23 — Apple has released iOS 16.5.1 and highlighted that these adapters have been FIXED. Update to 16.5.1 and try using them again. Hope this helps!

    I have tried about 4 of these iPhone dongles from various sellers. I think most of them are probably made from the same manufacturer in China. They are inexpensive when compared to this Apple-branded dongle, but they don’t work well. Every single one of them I tried would cut in and out or stop working and then I would need to unplug it from the phone and plug it back in. None of them worked consistently. The Apple camera adapter seems to be consistent and doesn’t cut out when using it. One difference is the Apple device can update itself with new firmware, which is a good thing. Another thing is the Apple dongle will complain about the device plugged into it taking too much power before one of the cheap ones would.

    I purchased a cheap (Mogood) USBA 1 to 3 splitter cable and plugged that into the Apple dongle and then use a battery pack to power the dongle when away from home. This seems to work well and allows me to plug in my Apple keyboard, mouse, and USB sound dongle.

    Overall, I’m pleased with it. I knocked off one star because I think it is a bit too expensive.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2021

    This adapter was exactly what I was looking for to transfer photos to/from a PC to iOS and iPadOS devices. Initially the not enough power notification came through as noted by others until I realized it needed to be plugged into the wall, or a power bank. Once the lightning port was plugged into the adapter and connected to a power source with my Apple cable and wall plug (or power bank), I then connected the usb with my photos copied from the PC to the USB port on the adapter. Final step was connecting the whole unit to the iPhone with the adapter’s lightning cable. My iPhone Files app read the drive and the usb with jpg files was recognized and placed onto the list of Locations for the iPhone Files app. Simply tapped the files I wanted to download into my photos app and they were there in just a very short time. It also works with a power bank while mobile. This procedure also worked flawlessly with my iPad running on iPadOS 14.8. But take note, the power supply for the iPadOS must be its original charging plug for the files to transfer. It’s a higher power source to adequately accommodate the function of the adapter itself. I can also transfer jpg files to the usb from my IPhone and iPad to the PC. I noticed when uploading these files to the usb from my iOS device there are duplicate file types. One is recognizable as a standard jpg file and the other is a type of file not recognized by my PC. Not sure about the whys and the wherefores specific to this transfer, but the file that is compatible with the computer is standard identity where jpg files are concerned. The odd name has a couple of characters in it before the common file name. I downloaded both to the desktop and put the common file name into a file I created on the PC and deleted the other. Hope this helps and makes sense. I’m not a tech guru but I do enough trial and error based on common logic to get results. There is also a YouTube video that shows steps for working with file transfers on iOS devices from a PC.
