Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), launched during this day external battery Smart Battery Case, but separately from it also launched a new version of the adapter that allows the transfer of photos and movies from an SD card to an iPad tablet or an iPhone terminal.
At first glance, the new cable does not seem to bring many changes, but the Apple company claims that it is now able to offer data transfer speeds close to those of USB 3.0, the tablet iPad Pro being the only one capable of transferring data so quickly.
I told you a few weeks ago that iPad Pro has USB 3.0 integrated through the Lightning port, and this adapter is capable of very fast data transfer between the tablet and a laptop with USB 3.0, the better speed being felt in the case of copying 4K movies, for example.
Considering that for now only the iPad Pro has an integrated USB 3.0 chip, the rest of the iDevices will continue to have USB 2.0 transfer speeds, so if you have any other iOS product, don't expect to have transfer speeds better after buying this accessory.
The Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader supports standard photo formats, including JPEG and RAW, along with SD and HD video formats, including H.264 and MPEG-4. It supports data transfer at up to USB 3 speeds on iPad Pro, and up to USB 2 speeds on all other iPad and iPhone models.
New version of Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader is available for purchase from the Apple Store Online at prices starting from 29 dollars.
