Hi ChuckWagon2,
We appreciate you reaching out to us.
To connect an external storage device to your iPhone, you will need a compatible connector or adapter.
As mentioned in the article below, "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)."
Also, please not that your "external storage device must have only a single data partition, and it must be formatted as APFS, APFS (encrypted), macOS Extended (HFS+), exFAT (FAT64), FAT32, or FAT. To change the formatting of a storage device, use a Mac or PC."

Take care!
