This week, Apple subtly replaced the accessory with the Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader (USB 3), which carries the same $29 price and arrives in a nearly identical box. Since then, iPads have only gotten faster, while the Reader has stayed unchanged. When I tested it back in 2012, I noted that the reader was working 3 times faster than its predecessor when used with the then-current iPad (4th-Gen), and 50% faster with the original iPad mini. For multi-monitor support on your M1 MacBook, see our Hybrid USB-C DisplayLink docking stations (ex: SD4700P, SD4750P, SD4780P or SD4900P) or USB-A DisplayLink adapters (DisplayPort K33989, HDMI K33988, DVI-I K33974).Three years ago, Apple released the original Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader, a larger, faster, and more expensive version of a Camera Connection Kit component it had previously developed for Dock Connector iPads.
