Connect USB-C Hub to iPhone | USB-C to Lightning | haQ attaQ

So many viewers have asked about how to connect a USB-C hub an iPhone. Since these iDevices have lightning ports, the solution is old and kinda disappointing.

Here I am a month or so after first watching this video and though Jacobs efforts have a fully working studio set up. Thanks SO much. A fan forever my friend.

Just a heads up for everyone, NO lightning equipped iphones can use USB 3.0.

Its only certain models of the iPad pro line that can, EVERYTHING ELSE is USB 2.0.

From the wikipedia page for lightning; "The 12.9-inch iPad Pro (1st and 2nd generation) and 10.5-inch iPad Pro support USB 3.0 (now USB 3.2 Gen 1), which has a maximum transfer speed of 5 Gb/s. This only applies to the Lightning to USB 3 camera adapter."

So if you dont need the charging port and you dont have those iPads buy the cheaper dongle

answered my question in the best way possible while also getting a chuckle out of me and starting an interesting conversation about lighting (and how much it sucks for compatability lol)
fantastic video, liked & subbed

I love how you cut to the chase, Jakob. "Yup, we're back to this stupid sh*t." Couldn't agree more. I'm still stuck with a (North American) iPhone 13 with a lightning connection. But at least there's a solution. Thanks!
(And I love my M1 iPad with USB-C. I got so sick of dealing with lightning on my previous iPad. Now I've essentially got something I can treat like a laptop when I want to. Just waiting for devs to start using the M1 capacity more effectively....)

Just tried this with my USB-c hub (non removable cable type) old iPhone 11 Pro, Apple camera adapter, and a USB 3.1 Type C (female) to USB 3.1 Type A male, and it worked without any problems.
Of course the whole thing just works on my iPhone 15, without the need for any dongles or adapters.

This exact issue has been driving me nuts. Thank you for sorting this mess out for us that are still using the older iPad pro.

Amazing video… been looking for definitive answers to DJing with my iPhone (as a backup to my MacBook and Traktor) and I’ve found a few that use the usb camera adapter to connect external storage OR a portable DJ controller… but I couldn’t find anything that went into detail about using hubs to connect an interface, storage and charging all at the same time. You’ve explained this perfectly. Thank you.

Your reviews and info are music to my ears

[gravitykat]

YOU ARE AMAZING!! This is the exact info I have been looking for! Now I can transfer video files from my camera on the go!!

Dude when I search for this video I really didn’t have any expectations on reach somethn useful, but you literally just answer my question, great video!

[LuminiousX]

Thank you for this valuable information. I got the Uni Pro 2 months ago after your previous video and it's the best hub I ever bought! 👍

[johndeggendorf]

Wow, Jakob…I love lightning. ❤️ My whole (old) iOS world is run by lightning. I still love you, man, and you’ll always have a special place in my heart…but maybe we should take a little break, think things over. 🤔🤔🍺🎩

[raymondleyko]

Thanks, I’ve been trying to record into (lightning) iPad and have been watching tons of videos on how to hook it up, no one out of all videos I watched mentioned anything about that lightning splitter dongle. Was pretty sure I needed it but no one verified it. Thanks again

With an original USB 3 Lightning adapter can I connect a USB Hub (converted with USB A) that supports HDMI and Ethernet?

[humpum]

You must have read my mind. And I’m on it minutes after you post it. VIBES ❤

[firstnose]

Following your videos, which I watch with great pleasure, I bought one. It's really great! The dream would have been for this hub to be Thunderbolt, with a quality video output, like DisplayPort. Thank you Jakob for all your videos 👍

[billfox]

As usual, great video. I, too, am using the Apple dongles with my iPads.

I just bought a Mac mini (M2) to replace my old iMac that is stuck on MacOS El Capitan because Apple stopped supporting my computer a few years ago. I bought a USB hub that comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable to attach to the mini. The USB-A and USB-C ports on the hub are recognized by the computer but I haven't yet figured out how to check data transfer speeds. At least everything seems to be working. BTW, I do not do any music production on the computer although I eventually plan on producing videos on it from my iOS music.

I use Apple‘s MagSafe charger to charge my iPhone while connected to Apple’s USB 2 dongle and it works flawlessly.

Perfectly said! Sending ppl to this video from now on when this comes up. I get this question for the tascam model 12 all the time. Thank you Jakob!!!
