XQD card and CF reader issues after iPad updates

XQD Card was working. Now no longer. CF reader is hit and miss. Did the new updates affect this? Is Apple working on a fix or acknowledging the issue. As with most of my colleagues in photo and video industry . A lot of us are mobile. We ditched the laptop and use our iPads. But this can be very detrimental to our workflow.

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 26
