Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an app to use the Kikosaka 3-in-1 on iPhone?
No. on iOS 13 and later, it is plug-and-play via the native 'Files' app. You can find the card listed under 'Locations'.
Why is the Lightning transfer slower than USB-C?
The Lightning connector is limited to USB 2.0 speeds (approx 30-480 Mbps) by Apple's design, whereas the USB-C end supports USB 3.0 speeds (up to 5Gbps).
Does it fit with thick phone cases?
It depends on the case. The connectors extend out slightly, but very rugged cases (like Otterbox Defender) might block the port, requiring you to remove the case.
