iOS 16.5 renders popular iPhone and iPad adapter useless

iOS 16 text seen on an iPhone screen

If you're having trouble getting your Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter to work with your phone or tablet after the latest update, you're not alone. iOS 16.5 and iPadOS 16.5 rolled out on Thursday with additional wallpaper options, a new Sports tab for Apple News and more — while also apparently breaking compatibility with this popular Apple accessory. 

The dongle connects to an iPhone or iPad through the charging port and comes with a USB-A port for hooking up a camera, microphone or other USB-powered accessory to your Apple phone or tablet. It also has a built-in Lightning port so you can simultaneously charge your device.
