This may be an issue of what protocol the iPhone supports as opposed to
corner cutting on the part of Sandisk.

Subject: RE: iXpand Flash Drive for iPhone and iPad
Just had a look at this drive and this is another example where a company
slaps a big price tag on an item for iOS devices knowing people will pay. In
a CNET review I read the 64 Gb version will be $120 and while this sounds
like well-made product, it still is just a USB ThumbDrive with a Lightning
port. Furthermore it is only USB 2.0 where especially with USB drives of
that size it is hard to even find anything nowadays which isn't USB 3.0 and
for a product with a premium price this at least would have been a nice
feature.
In my opinion using cloud storage such as Dropbox, OneDrive or iCloud Drive
is a better way to go especially now that prices for online storage are
coming down. You can get 1 Terrabyte of OneDrive storage from Microsoft for
$99 a year. Actually you are paying for Office 365 Home Premium which gives
you a full licence for Office 2013 (and future Office versions) and the 1 Tb
of storage is an added benefit.
I just got an email from Dropbox where they want me to upgrade to Dropbox
Pro which has all sorts of neat features and would also give me 1 Terrabyte
of storage for $109 if I pay for the entire year.
Regards,
Sieghard

I downloaded the app just to see and it looks accessible.
I don't have the flash drive, but all the buttons read fine with VoiceOver.
I'm interested in this product as well.

This looks like an interesting product. The key thing though is whether it's
app is accessible. If not are their other ways to use files such as drop
box. This is definitely one to watch.

Sandisk is a good name in this product line, so must go see, and more

buy than anything else seen so far.
RobH, ready for breakfast.
