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?

Can I utilize this accessory to check game camera footage and then remove the images from the SD card?
I was thinking about purchasing this accessory to check several game camera footages. I figure I remove the SD card from the game camera & download the images to my iPhone 6s. Once this is accomplished, will it remove the images from the SD card so I can place it back in the game camera & start over? Or will I have to still take the SD card back to a computer for reformatting or deleting the images.

Best Answer:Sort of... it seems the native photos app does not support 16:9 aspect ratio on import, which makes this a bit unusable if your game cam shoots in that manner. (my moultries do) I am trying to get Apple to answer this explicitly but so far a call to them has not sufficed.

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.
