Affected users reported that after upgrading to iOS / iPadOS 16.5, the “Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter” cannot be powered.

It is not yet clear what exactly caused this problem, and Apple may fix it in the future by releasing an iOS 16.5.1 update.

Attached is the description of this accessory on Apple’s official website in China as follows:

With the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter, you can easily transfer photos and videos from your high-resolution digital camera to your iPad Pro. When the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter is connected, your iPad Pro automatically opens the Photos app, where you can select photos and videos to import and organize them into albums.
