Update 28 dec 18 well it didnt hold up for very long but in its defense we all know apple likes to push its capricious ios updates on us in order to combat the various 3rd party peripheral developers trying to undercut their sales of accessories so maybe when the new update went into effect it kinda made the adapter unusable for the ipad

Well see if it still works after a month or three but for now im happy to have one that works like its supposed to work
