Questions about SanDisk Creator Phone SSD

It is possible to use this SSD with an iPhone 12, but this would require an adapter to connect the SSD via USB-C, as the iPhone 12 uses a Lightning port. Apple's Lightning to USB3 adapter can be used to connect the SSD, but make sure the adapter supports the transfer speeds needed for smooth use.

Yes, you can use the "Creator Phone SSD (1000 GB)" from SanDisk with an iPhone 14 Pro, but not directly, as iPhones do not have USB-C ports for external SSDs that can be connected directly. Instead, you need an adapter or a bridge that connects the iPhone's Lightning port to the SSD's USB-C port. Here are the steps to use it: 1. USB-C to Lightning adapter: You will need an adapter that connects USB-C to Lightning. However, such an adapter is not directly available as Apple does not offer official USB-C to Lightning adapters. Instead, you can use a USB-C to USB-A adapter and then a USB-A to Lightning adapter, but this is not ideal. 2. USB-C to USB-A adapter and Lightning USB-A cable: A better option would be to use a USB-C to USB-A adapter and then a Lightning USB-A cable. However, this requires a device that acts as a bridge as iPhones do not directly support external SSDs over USB. 3. wireless SSD solutions or cloud services: A more viable solution would be to connect the SSD to another device (e.g. a computer), upload the data to the cloud and then access your iPhone. Alternatively, there are also wireless SSD solutions that can be connected to your iPhone via Wi-Fi. 4. third-party apps and devices: There are special apps and devices from third-party providers that make it possible to connect external storage media to iPhones. These solutions often utilise the Lightning connector and provide a bridge to connect to external storage devices. In summary, it is possible to use the product with an iPhone 14 Pro, but it requires additional hardware and possibly third-party apps or devices. Direct connection is not possible due to iOS limitations.
