Hi my name is Joe and I work at APH in quality assurance. To answer your question no the Orbit writer won’t connect the same way. The reason the Mantis does and also our Chameleon does is the new hid standard. Thats the standard Microsoft apple and others worked on. Its still new and I believe currently were the only one supporting this. I believe the Orbit does on the Mac but not on the iPhone currently. If I can help in any other way please let me know.
