Dual Connectors Dual Slots SD Card Reader for iPhone 📷
Description:
This compact SD card reader from Denlane makes it straightforward to transfer photos and video from cameras or drones to phones and tablets, with a design that suits both iPhone and USB-C devices. If you need an SD card reader for iPhone iPad and Android devices to move large files without a computer, this adapter offers plug-and-play access and support for common photo and video formats, helping you spend less time waiting and more time editing.
Key Points
The reader includes both a Lightning connector and a USB-C plug so you can connect directly to iPhones, iPads and many Android phones without extra cables. It has dual card slots that accept SD and microSD formats, though note that only one card can be read at a time. Transfer speeds are listed at around 30 MB/s according to the manufacturer, which is suitable for moving high-resolution photos and typical video clips quickly. ⚡️ The device works without drivers, so it is ready to use after inserting a compatible memory card and connecting to a supported device.
Compatibility covers a wide range of systems including iPadOS and iOS (iOS 13 or later required for iPhones), Android, Mac OS, Windows, Chrome OS and Linux. File systems supported include FAT32 and exFAT, which allows reading cards up to 1 TB for large media projects. For photographers and content creators who switch between cameras and mobile devices, the reader removes the need for a laptop in many situations. 📸

Usage Recommendations
Insert the chosen memory card fully into the correct slot before connecting the reader to your device, and allow the device to recognise the card. When using with iPhones, ensure the device runs iOS 13 or later for full functionality. For video formats, standard compatibility includes common codecs such as H.264 and MPEG-4, and image files in JPEG and RAW are supported, which helps when moving uncompressed images for editing on mobile apps. 🔁
Consider that the unit reads only one card at a time, so swapping between two cards requires ejecting and reselection. Also, very high bitrate 4K footage from some specialised cameras may be limited by the listed transfer speed, and in those cases a direct connection to a computer or a faster reader may be preferable. For routine photo backups from cameras, drones and dashcams to smartphones and tablets, the adapter offers a compact and practical solution.
