Finally, even after a long wait, new (for) versions of iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 allow iPhone and iPad users to connect their devices to any external USB storage device.
While it is true that those iPhone and iPad with Lightning port require an adapter for connecting an external USB device, but it works just fine.

Retro-modern connection, the 1986 iPhone and hard drive
New versions of iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 for connecting external devices are often used to connect SD cards, digital cameras or pen-drives to your iPhone or iPad, but in this case we'll move on. On the YouTube Channel Will It Work? they were able (with all kinds of adapters and advertisements) to connect a modern iPhone to 20SC hard drive Apple 1986. Will it work?
To access the connection, he had to use all kinds of adapters on ports, connectors and even a Micro SD card. Once everything is connected, communication takes 3 minutes actually. In addition, you are also required to use Lightning dock, Lightning USB camera adapter and long etcetera.
