Samsung T7 does not connect to iPhone iOS 16.3 via Lightning to USB3 adapter

I have a Samsung T7 1gb ssd. It connects to my iPad 2019 through an adapter and to a macbook m1 without any problems. But I can't connect to iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max. The phones are 100% charged and connected to the charger through the adapter. The ssd light comes on and flashes every 5 seconds. I tried to format the disk in the APFS system and in exFat, but the phone refuses to connect it. With what it can be connected? Perhaps you know how to fix this problem? I would be grateful for any options.

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

Greetings DimmNet,


We'd like to provide you with a few steps that may be able to assist you:

"Connect external storage devices to iPhone

You can use the Files app and other supported apps to access files stored on external devices, such as USB drives and SD cards, connected to your iPhone.


Connect a USB drive or an SD card reader

  1. Attach the USB drive or SD card reader to the charging port on your iPhone using a compatible connector or adapter.

You may need the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter, Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter, or Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader (all sold separately).


Note: A USB drive must have only a single data partition, and it must be formatted as FAT, FAT32, exFAT (FAT64), or APFS. To change the formatting of a USB drive, use a Mac or PC.


2. Do any of the following:

• Insert an SD memory card into a card reader: Don’t force the card into the slot on the reader; it fits only one way.


Note: You can import photos and videos from the memory card directly to the Photos app. See Import photos and videos on iPhone.


• View the contents of the drive or memory card: In a supported app (for example, Files), tap Browse at the bottom of the screen, then tap the name of the device below Locations. If you don’t see Locations, tap Browse again at the bottom of the screen.

• Disconnect the drive or card reader: Remove it from the charging port on iPhone.


Note: The Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter can be powered with a USB power adapter. This allows you to connect USB devices with higher power requirements, such as external hard drives, to iPhone."
