I have an unpowered micro-SD card reader. It used to work fine on my iPhone 11 and it still works with my 9.7” 5th Gen iPad. I have not been able to get it to work with my iPhone 13 pro.
I read somewhere that beginning with iPhone 12, the lightning port no longer provides USB power through lightning port. If true, that explains my problem, question is, will a powered SD card reader work with my iPhone 13 pro?
Problem resolved. Ordered an SD reader that’s similar to Apple and it works with my iPhone 13 pro. My original reader still works with my iPad and iOS 15.5 so maybe something changed with iOS to render my old reader inoperable on my iPhone 13 pro🤷🏻♂️

Hey MacFanForever,
The following article, Using USB accessories with iOS and iPadOS, doesn’t mention using only powered USB devices. Make sure your iPhone 13 Pro is up to date:
Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You can also find some useful info here as well:
Connect external storage devices to iPhone
Take care.
Found this post in discussion mentioning iPhone 12/13 no longer providing device power out via lightning connector. In this case user was able to confirm with Sandisk device that has a power led. Still no Apple documentation this is case but my experience indicates this to be true.

Hello MacFanForever. I use the Apple to SD Card Camera Reader on my iPhone 13 Pro Max. Works fine.
Does iPhone 13 support unpowered SD card reader
