This Hetai Tech reader connects to Lightning, Micro-USB and USB-C ports on iPhone, Android and MacBook devices. It reads TF and MicroSD cards and supports FAT32 and exFAT file systems. The iUSB Pro app is required before first use on iOS devices.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the Lightning, Micro-USB and USB-C plugs to my iPhone, Android phone and MacBook without forcing the wrong port?

Match each connector to its port — Lightning for iPhone 7 Plus, 6s, 5s; Micro-USB for older Android; USB-C for newer Android, iPad and MacBook — then insert the microSD card before opening the iUSB Pro app.

What ongoing care does the plastic-and-metal housing and the three connectors need after months of daily plugging and unplugging?

Wipe the contacts with a dry lint-free cloth, blow dust from the microSD slot, and avoid bending the short tether when storing the 15 g reader in a bag.

At what point does sustained 4K video playback from a microSD card hit a bottleneck on the USB 2.0-class interface?

Continuous reads above roughly 32 MB/s will saturate the link, so large video files transfer slower than the card’s rated speed.
