iPhone 16 Problem With USB-C Power For External SSD Storage Drives

I forgot to make it clear in the video that this issues only applies to the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max, as the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Plus can't record ProRes 4K 120FPS. Sorry about that.

In this video I'm talking about the USB-C power problem that can happen with certain USB-C SSD storage devices connected to the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.

The issue is that with the 4.5W power limit of these iPhones when powering external devices. This power availability will not allow certain SSD drives to work. In my tests all combinations of USB-C NVMe enclosures and Thunderbolt NVMe enclosures using a Gen 4 NVMe M.2 SSDs, would not work during to the power limit.

In my opinion, Apple could have preempted this problem by allowing higher power delivery for such SSD drives. Given that it would not be unreasonable to suggest that for anyone recording high bitrate ProRes 4K 120FPS video to already be using Gen 4 NVMe based SSD drives.
