Lightning to usb 3 camera adapter update
Just noticed having plugged in the camera connection kit that it was updating ...
Thoughts?
Comments
Oh, I got that message earlier and cancelled it because it's always worked fine so far.
Updating what?
I vw been getting this same message. I was about to ask the same thing on here.
I accepted the update, and it completed successfully, and am still getting the request to update window, but less frequently than before.
I haz a weird.
What ?
Edit:- plugged it in and got the message as well. Anyone have any idea what it does ? I'd rather not break something that works fine for me so will wait till someone else tests this out.
The Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter
Yeah, but updating it in what fashion? What does it fix or what will it do that it didn't before....
I've never had any problem with mine so likewise don't want to do an update that I'm unclear about
Oh, I see what you mean. Yes, I still have exactly the same questions. It's rather puzzling!
Nice chatting with you.

What seems to be giving you trouble today?
Me
Hi joe I just want to know about the update to the Lightning to USB 3 adaptor What will it do? As at the moment it's working fine as far as I can tell
Joe
You definitely came to the right place! I can see why you chatted in about this—just to be sure we’re on the same page here, what would you like to know in general?
Joe
And is this the camera adapter piece?
ME
The purpose of the update, what functions will it change or add
ME
Yes but the one that also powers the iPad
Joe
Ah, great question! The update primarily just improves data transfer rates.
Joe
It is evidently a huge improvement over the predecessor.
Joe
Are you still there?
ME
So you think it's safe to update ? I mainly use it for connection of music controllers like keyboards not for transferring photos
Joe
Yeah definitely! In that case, you’d not really be running any compatibility risk.
ME
Yes slow typist
Joe
No problem—it’s just an auto-timer haha
Joe
You would be totally fine to update. It’s supported natively across many platforms as well, so no worries.
ME
Ok that's all thanks
Joe

So there we have it, it's meant to speed up data transfer rates.
Don't you just love Apple speak.
@BiancaNeve - Thanks for getting that info, much appreciated
Would anyone be so kind as to do before/after comparisons ? I'm quite curious how this affects simultaneous controllers etc.
Thx
sounds to me like he misunderstood the question. his answer sounds like the answer to 'what is better if I update to the new camera adapter?' -- faster transfer rates.
otherwise, why would he mention the predecessor?
Hmmmmm you might be right....
Oh well
And why if @decibelle updated it are they still getting the message? Seems kind of like a virus
I tried the Apple support online chat thing. I was told that it's just a firmware update for some camera leads, so not really any relevance to my use, but there's no harm updating anyway.
Apple is hardly going to say "Oh no don't use our update it's dangerous!"
If it was dangerous, then why even release it?
You do realise that apple has bricked older ipads and iPod touches with updates before right ? I always approach updates with caution since then. Actually bricked my iPod touch 2 once.
I've read that it may be something to do with Ethernet connectivity?
As in "crippling" or "disabling of" or actually "enabling Gb ethernet for the 12.9 or other forthcomming (USB3 enabled) iDevices". Quite interesting. Hmm..
second that
I updated mine and so far it didn't bother me again.
