-I tested this with an iPhone 12 with the 
-[USB-3 camera adapter](https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MK0W2AM/A/lightning-to-usb-3-camera-adapter). 
-However, this should work with any adapter or USB-C smart card reader directly to a USB-C iPad.
-I did run into some issues with using my exact model of smart card reader where the power provided
-by the adapter was insufficient, but this was solved by plugging in a charger to the lightning port on
-the adapter.
+I tested this with an iPhone 12 with the
+[USB-3 camera adapter](https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MK0W2AM/A/lightning-to-usb-3-camera-adapter)
+and a generic OTG lightning to USB3.0 adapter from
+[Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Lightning-Portable-iPhone13-Keyboard/dp/B09NND4R8N/).
+However, this should work with any OTG adapter or
+[USB-C smart card reader](https://www.amazon.com/Identiv-SCR3310v2-0-Smart-Card-Reader/dp/B07VVSY96H/)
+directly to a USB-C iPad.
+
+Apple's USB-3 camera adapter did require power to the lightning port on the adapter to work,
+while the generic OTG adapter did not require anything additional.
