IOS 13 can work with external drives from the 90s

IOS 13 has enabled users to connect different external drives to their Apple mobile devices. Today, many people understand this concept as external hard drives or flash drives. However, recently one of the curious users clearly proved that iOS 13 can read information from almost any external medium, including magnetic discs.

Judging by the small video that was published on Youtube, iPhone with iOS 13 easily reads information from the magnetic disk Iomega zip 250. Of course, the drive, released in the late 90’s, in terms of speed is much inferior to modern solutions. However, despite his venerable age, he continues to work.

It is noteworthy that in addition to reading, the user also managed to write a small file on Iomega zip 250. It took only a few seconds to copy one photo. The owner of a rare drive noted that such a “link” works quite steadily. However, you won’t be able to use it on an ongoing basis because there is no button in the Files app on iOS to securely remove the drive. Without it, you can’t turn off the drive properly.
