Apple Lightning to USB 3 Adapter not charging phone or communicating to DAC after iOS 16.5 update

I responded to a similar thread in the iPad community section, but am posting here in case my phone-specific issue needs to be here.


I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and have been using the official Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter for months to send lossless Apple Music to my DAC, and it's worked flawlessly and charged my phone at the same time.


As soon as I updated to iOS 16.5 this morning, the adapter not only doesn't communicate to the DAC at all, it doesn't even charge my phone. When I test plugging in an iPad on a previous OS version, it communicates and charges just fine.


This has to be an issue with iOS 16.5, and I hope it's resolved quickly - seems like a very bad look for an official Apple accessory to be rendered inoperable by a step update of iOS.


I chatted with support and submitted via Feedback page as well, just wanted to add my voice to the chorus here as well, very frustrating.
