3. Connecting the SP15 to iOS Devices

The SP15 uses the industry standard USB-C plug to connect to your iOS device. A short male to male cable is included

that plugs directly into the USB-C port on the current generation of iPads. Apple has not upgraded the iPhone to

directly support USB-C as of this writing.

iPhones use a proprietary “Lightning” connector. Apple began using this 8-pin connector in September 2012 with the

introduction of iPhone 5. You must use the Apple USB “Camera Adapter” to convert from USB-C to Lightning. The cable

that comes with the iPhone is a USB-C to Lightning “Power Charging” cable, which does not support external accessories.

We advise you to use Apple’s USB Camera Adapter. While there are other adapter cables available on the market that

may seem more cost effective, many of them are not suitable for use with high performance Apps.
