I've been waiting for this adapter for so long

Ever since I got my iPhone 6 Plus, I have been using the original Apple USB Camera Adapter to connect it to a USB keyboard. This new adapter fixes all the issue Ever since I got my iPhone 6 Plus, I have been using the original Apple USB Camera Adapter to connect it to a USB keyboard. This new adapter fixes all the issues I had with the old adapter. With the old adapter, I couldn't use my Apple Aluminum USB keyboard with my device because it has a hub and uses too much power. With the new adapter, I can just plug in a Lighning cord and I can connect my Apple Aluminum USB keyboard with my device. Best of all, the brightness, volume, play, rewind, and fast forward keys all work. I can even connect a second USB keyboard to one of the USB ports on the side of the Apple keyboard and use both keyboards at the same time. The other complaint I had about the old adapter was that you couldn't use USB devices and charge your device at the same time. This adapter allows me to both power USB devices that use more power than my device can provide and charge my device at the same time. One thing to note though is that if you use a little iPhone cube charger, you may not be able to charge your device very quickly if you have a USB device plugged in that requires extra power. Your iOS device will also complain that a device uses too much power if the connected USB charger (like the iPhone charge which is only 5 watts) does not provide enough power to power the USB device you are trying to connect. I have both the 12 watt iPad charger and the small iPhone chargers, and I have never had any problems with power as long as I use the 12 watt iPad charger. I can use both power hungry USB devices and charge my iPhone 6 Plus at the same time with the iPad 12 watt charger connected. My guess is that this is why this USB camera adapter is said to be only compatible with iPads. iPads mostly come with the 12 watt or 10 watt charger, and people with iPads don't need to go out and buy it, and they are less likely to attempt to plug it into a little iPhone charger. If you have trouble with your iOS device complaining that you don't have enough power even with a USB power adapter connected, try an iPad charger or something that will give you more wattage. That way, you will have enough power to go around.

Apple has ruined this adapter with IOS12.

I had been using his adapter to load recoded TV shows to my ipad. After the IOS12 update, this transfer no longer works. Also videos will not load from my USB 2 I had been using his adapter to load recoded TV shows to my ipad. After the IOS12 update, this transfer no longer works. Also videos will not load from my USB 2.0 adapter either. It still works to upload photos from a SD card; however, I rarely use it for this. This adapter is now a waste of $40.

Digital Audio Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter Pro-ject Pre Box S2 Digital

Digital audio works connected to the Pro-ject Pre Box S2 Digital DAC Player. Compatible with iPhone 5se and 6, plus iPad 4?(last version with the original sh Digital audio works connected to the Pro-ject Pre Box S2 Digital DAC Player. Compatible with iPhone 5se and 6, plus iPad 4?(last version with the original shaped body) and iPad 5. Tested. The iPad 4? updated a driver. Digital sound signal is automatically transmitted from lightning connector to the USB connection. Then connect the Pro-ject Pre Box S2 Digital DAC Player to your HIFI auxiliary. Connect the iPad usb power lead to the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter. The iPad power adapter has more power than an iPhone adapter. This enables the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter to power the Pro-ject Pre Box S2 Digital DAC Player vial the USB cable. Of course you could use the power plug, however the engineer that designed the Pro-ject Pre Box S2 Digital DAC Player recommended using the USB to power the DAC. The Apple engineer asked to add this information as they were unsure if it would work.

Can I connect a USB flash drive to the IPad Pro through the lightning to USB3 camera adapter to transfer files (like documents etc.)?

Nope! Unfortunately not. With the USB camera adapter, the iPad will automatically scan for images wi Nope! Unfortunately not. With the USB camera adapter, the iPad will automatically scan for images within a DCIM folder (standard folder where images are stored on cameras and memory cards) whenever anything USB is connected to it, so it'll pull that and only that. Which I find kind of crazy especially since Apple is trying to tout the iPad Pro as a laptop replacement product in the new commercials... But that's another rant for another day.

Answer

Yes, but maybe not the way you mean. The Lightning port is for supplying power (only) while the USB3 Yes, but maybe not the way you mean. The Lightning port is for supplying power (only) while the USB3 port transfers data.
