UHS-II speed supported? If not, is Apple planning to support this read speed?
I noticed several people asked this question back in 2015. No one has answered any of them in regards to supporting the read speeds for UHS-II SD cards. Since there is a second row of connectors on these SD cards, it should be simple for Apple to check whether the card reader supports using both rows of connectors on the card. Wouldn’t we all like ~240-300Mbps transfer of our photos & videos from UHS-II SD cards to our iPads & iPhones?

Will this device work with Garmin Topo Maps on SD and used with the Basecamp Software?
There are 2 ways to use Garmin Topo Maps with Garmin Basecamp software. You can plug your handheld GPS into a USB port every time you want to use Basecamp, or you can have the SD card with the maps on plugged straight into the SD slot. My old MacBook Pro had an SD slot, so I just left a Garmin SD in that to save plugging in the GPS every time I wanted to look at the maps. My new Mac Mini has no SD slot and wondering if the lightening to SD reader is the equivalent of the old SD slot in the MacBook.
