Apple USB-C SD Card Reader: Worth The Price?

[@saucelove]

It’s worth the $39 for the Apple version. I just bought it today. I own a medium format camera with 300mb to 500mb file sizes and it’s quick! 100% worth the price!

[@vickiedgar9741]

Perhaps you can help. I have an ipad pro and bought the USB-c to SD card reader from Apple. For pictures. What app do I want to use to be able to view, import and export pictures from SD card?

[@saucelove]

@@vickiedgar9741 actually you don’t need an app. You just need to go to photos on your iPad and view them there. When you put the SD card in-the photos section will say “untitled” there’s where you view/download them.

Question- can you transfer from iPad to the SD card using the usb- c SS card reader ?

[@oldstudbuck3583]

Thank you for the effort you put into this video. I’m getting the Apple reader.

Could you do the same with music? Transfer songs from your pad to the sd card ? Individual songs?

I have the iPad Pro 11 inch 3rd generation with iOS Software 15.6.1. I am unable to get the iPad Pro to recognized the Apple dongle. I can't find the Files app mentioned in this video.

[@alina_ostr]

Hello! Thank you for the video! I have a problem with videos,my IPad doesn’t see the videos so I can’t import it. Do you know how to solve this problem?

[@sofiakryzteldayao8571]

Hello others said that they can't transfer it with videos and doesn't show up using the gallery of iPad pro?

[@Romafedorov]

That’s really weird. I’m using a much more sophisticated camera than the G7X Mark 2 and I’m able to transfer files easily to my iPad Pro. Regardless, even if you can’t transfer with the Photos app, you can always transfer with the Files app.

My oem adaptor restarts my ipad pro 1st generation when plugged in. Why?

[@IGleeker]

It wont show up for the files on my ipad, nor my windows laptop with a USB-C port

[@rrisky18]

Ok what I want to know because I can’t find it anywhere, I have a sd card reader for my iPhone 13 and the sd card is sandisk and I know the adapter has a switch so u can delete the sd card, but it won’t delete any videos or pics from the card itself, but I can do it if I hook it up to my laptop, but don’t want to use laptop so let’s not talk about using my laptop, any info would be great.😃👍

[@Romafedorov]

As far as I know it’s not possible to format a drive on iOS/iPadOS.

[@gussk8e]

Not sure what to think. I just saw another review and the sandisk was significantly faster than the apple card reader. I see that they are only $10 difference though

[@Romafedorov]

I think that I saw that review too and that’s the reason why I got the Sandisk one first. But after using it for sometime, I realized that it causes lots of issues with the iPad Pro. I never had any issue with the Apple Card reader, it works every time and I don’t have to think about it. Maybe iPadOS 14 fixed some of the issues that I had with the Sandisk card reader, but I won’t really rely on that.

[@gussk8e]

@@Romafedorov Thanks for the reply. I might go with the apple card reader as well just given the fact I'm using an apple product

Can i work with files in an app like videoleap without transferring files to iPad?

[@Romafedorov]

No you can’t. You have to import the files to the iPad first, maybe Apple will change that in iPadOS 14-15..

[@fitnesschefen]

The apple dongle says it works with UHS 2 cards, but the sd card I just bought is a UHS 1? Does it mean i cant use that dongle with my sd card for my ipad pro?

[@youdig-detection]

it's mean that it's support old format too so your uhs1 will work probably at a reduced speed tho.

[@jonathanlong8682]

Can you save photos from the ipad to the sd card?

[@Romafedorov]

[@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv0]

I’m thinking about getting an iPad for video and photo editing. Can you transfer edited photos and videos back to the SD Card from the iPad? I’d like to be able to have different cards for different projects that I can add and remove from the iPad when necessary. Edit: I’d probably be getting the 64GB iPad Air 4, if that info is important. Loved the video, by the way!

[@Romafedorov]

I’m editing all of my videos with my iPad and i love it. The experience is not as full as on a laptop, because the apps are not as sophisticated. But for my minimalistic style of editing it’s more than enough. About transferring the files from the iPad back to the SD, yes you can do that but from my personal experience it’s very slow. I tried a couple of times transferring small files and i eventually gave up because I couldn’t wait anymore, perhaps it was an issue with iPadOS 13 and now with 14 it got fixed, but I’d suggest to do a research about this a little bit more before you buy an iPad for yourself. And by the way the new iPad Air looks fire!

[@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv0]

Roma Fedorov Do you think the 8th Generation would be similarly capable, although a bit slower for video editing?

[@Romafedorov]

blue yes I think so, if you’re not using high end cameras then you should be fine.

One thing about Apple SD reader is…it may work, but future iOS update may kill it and useless. Even though it’s Apple’s own SD reader. It’s how Apple make more money by forcing you upgrade.

[@sfgrgfsf212]

This applies more to the third party ones (especially the really cheap ones). iOS updates can make them "unsupported accessories" and they will no longer work. The official Apple one should always work regardless of your software version.

[@jozsiolah1435]

When you play Rally Fury, a card’s HC or XC coprocessor works through the Otg cable and card reader. That is good for teaching the coprocessor with the game, then it can reside in a laptop for better gameplay. Hc: opponents become hostile to each other. Xc: Physx, not realistic, specially for games, cars fly during collisions. Sandisk 16 Gb pendrive CZ is XC, same as a XC micro SD card. Very good to install it to desktop pc, as a coprocessor card for games. Cards learn after a number of gameplay, and it depends on the brand, how the card behaves during gaming. Needs a thumbnail picture or video to have it on the card for full acceleration, that can be anything. For some phones, the background or starting image has to be on the card for full acceleration, a rally game can speed up slow phones permanently if a card is in its slot. Some slots don’t take advantage of the XC, but they start the HC.

[@paulahavens2764]

if you plug it into power as well as the ipad it would go faster because you have direct power and not just from the iPad. Bad video not really a true example. I know because I have the first one. the one you are recommending does not have the power part so some things will not even load.
