Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader causes iPhone XS Max continuously restart

I just bought an Apple Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader to use with my iPhone XS Max. However, when I plug in the card reader to the lightning port, the iPhone continuously restarts about every one minute. But it works normally both on my iPad and my wife’s iPhone X.

I don’t know if it’s the problem of my iPhone Xs max? (iOS 12.1, 256GB)

iPhone XS Max, iOS 12.1

I encourage those who are facing the same issue to log a ticket with Apple Support Technical Advisor.


  • Raised a ticket
  • Provide them this discussions thread
  • they would request you to provide detail and device log.


I had already raised a ticket and provided them with the logs from the device and itunes. pending engineering for update. BTW i was told they do not monitoring discussions.apple.com. So as long ticket is not created no action will be taken. More ticket might help to get fixed asap.

i got the exact same issue on 12.1.3 & 12.1.4 on both Xs And Xs Max, not affected on my ipad 6th and iPhone 6S and X. I went to apple store today they can reproduce the same issue on their own Xs too. Anyway they swap a new one for me and said they know it won't fix it but hope 12.2 would fix this later on.
