I tried accessing my USB camera card using my iPhone last week and it worked flawlessly! I used a basic Lightning card reader, and once I followed the steps, I could view and import my photos right away. Just a tip: make sure to unlock the iPhone before connecting the reader. It made the process smoother!
Thanks for sharing your experience! It's great to hear that the process was smooth for you. Readers should always double-check compatibility with their specific iPhone model.
I'm curious about the compatibility of different USB camera card readers with iPhones. Is there a specific brand or model that works best?
