Ways (if any) to connect a  DVD and/or CD-ROM recorder/player to an iPhone or iPad?

Is there any way to connect an external DVD and/or CD-ROM recorder/player to an iPhone 6/iOS 10.3.3, or iPad (newest version)? My MacBook runs on maximum os Lion and I want to avoid buying a later computer just for burning cds off my iPhone. Thanks for any replies, ****@mac.com

You CAN purchase an external optical drive for your MacBook from here.


If you need an optical drive that works with your year and model Mac, look at these.


Not all optical drives are Mac compatible.

Most Mac compatible drives you will only find to be purchased online.

Here are two on Amazon.com that are cheap and Mac compatible

Here's another source for Mac compatible optical drives. These are better quality optical drives.
