iOS
No drivers/software is required for iOS or iPadOS, however most iPhones (including newer USB-C Pro versions) still require an active USB hub in order to provide enough power for the iD4 to operate.
To connect the iD4 to an iOS device with a lightning port, an Apple Camera Connection Kit must be used.
