Seriously, when is the last time that any of us actually have seen storage accessories made for Apple – specifically the iOS devices? Probably often, because why else larger capacity iPhones and iPads are consistently sold out despite the higher price tag? Here’s a way on how you can save money – get a lower capacity iOS device, and get an external storage instead. Transcend has a few portable storage devices made specifically for iOS devices.
The main reason on how you can actually save money is simple – be a little more hardworking in deleting or backing up old pictures elsewhere. I mean, it’s quite unlikely that you’re ever going to browse for them anyway, so why keep them on your phone? Move it to your PC or somewhere else, and then delete it from your phone.
Transcend has a few of these storage solutions that are Lightning-certified which you can plug into your iOS device and they’ll work.
Transcend JetDrive Go 500
It’s a fairly simple idea. Transcend made a tiny little USB drive that has a Lightning port on one end and a USB-A on another! Transcend even got this little JetDrive Go 500 to have MFi-certification too.
Available in both silver and gold colors and in both 64GB and 128GB variants, it can seriously let you copy files between iOS devices and between PCs and Macs with its hasty USB 3.0 speeds.
Transcend JetDrive Go 300
Then you have the JetDrive Go 300. It looks less sleek and obviously not as attractive as the JetDrive Go 500, but it performs pretty much the same. Dual connectors – one Lightning and another USB-A – you can get nice transfer speeds.
Just be really careful of those caps, though.
RDA2 Smart Reader
Are you a photographer and an iOS user? Then this might be the perfect thing for you. It’s a card reader with Lightning connector, and it works just as you’d expect it to. Plug it into your iOS device and plug your SD card into the card reader and it’ll read right away!
The Transcend RDA2 is also MFi-certified. Perfect gift for a photographer friend who uses iOS devices.
Also, Transcend has an app called the Smart Reader App which compliments the RDA2 for even more features like:
- Backup Camera Roll, Contacts, iCloud photos, and photos on Dropbox, Google Drive, Facebook, and Instagram
- Direct record and save (photo, video, and audio)
- Format memory cards
- Encrypt and decrypt files
- Password protection (4-digit combination or Touch ID)
- Access cloud storage
