How it works<\/h2>\n

Lightning drives are like normal USB drives, in that they have a full-size USB connector on one end, and some flash storage in the middle to keep your files, photos and videos. The interesting part is that they have a Lightning connector opposite the USB connector, so you can plug them into an iPhone easily.<\/p>\n

Using a free iOS app, you can copy photos, videos and other files from your iPhone X to the Lightning drive, or vice versa.<\/p>\n

\n

Why it’s useful<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can use Lightning drives in a load of different ways. For example, you could use them to copy all of your iPhone X’s photos and videos and transfer them to your computer — and it will be way faster than doing it using iCloud, Dropbox or Google Photos.<\/p>\n

Another idea would be to copy HD video files to the drive, so you can watch them on your iPhone during a long drive or flight. Even if you don’t have any spare space on your iPhone X, you can still play the video file directly from the drive.<\/p>\n

There are loads of uses for these kind of drives; in the end you’re just limited by your imagination!<\/p>\n
