Because it's software. Software by its' very nature has bugs. There is no software by any company in the history of mankind without bugs. If you have an example, I'm interested.

Apple's Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter Not Working With iOS 16.5

I don't know about the cable but I remember the lighting to hdmi adapter not working with iOS 16 and it was a firmware issue actually...it would pop up eventually on you phone screen.
Yeah, but this is really bad, it's issue after issue after issue after issue.
For those bitching and moaning about the network filter bug in beta 4 of macOS 13.4, now is the time to actually bitch and moan! This kind of bug should NOT be present in final release software.
Correct. This happens every year. Software gets released and people say "why have there been so many bugs lately?" As if it's out of the norm. But I can point to some embarrassing bugs in every piece of software, including in the Forstall years.
It very hard to understand why this bug was not discovered during the beta process. Seems with each passing year since Jobs left Apple, Apple’s OS releases are filled with many bugs. Apple doesn’t hire the best engineers anymore.
No, I only use the usb port. But the audio converter needs power because there is a small D/A converter and LED on it. I even checked if my phone is charging through the camera adapter when I listen to music and it's also working.

Apple barely makes profit.. let alone be able to afford a QA department

You should still be able to downgrade since May 25 is the most likely date Apple will stop signing it...
I hope you’re joking.
Neither Apple nor the E.U. want to “kill” Lightning.
-You will find all varieties of Lightning iPhones and accessories in stores up to and beyond the deadline for the switch.
Apple just isn’t allowed to produce and sell new Lightning-only iPhones post the deadline.
But all the Lightning products that hit stores before the deadline are completely unaffected by the legislation.
Additionally, Apple is free to ship all its outdated Lightning only products to countries like the U.S. and sell all its proprietary gizmos there until he’ll freezes over.
Either way, Apple most certainly won’t be blocking any Lightning products from operating to any extent.
This is just them not doing proper testing before releasing a new update.
Apple welcomes the day when consumers see the “get the new USB-C iPhones with USB 3.0 or better data transfer speeds. First time for iPhones -Wow!” headline all over the news and look to their old iPhones and realize they should upgrade from the decades old USB 2.0 tech that Lightning offers.
The shift to USB-C is an opportunity for Apple to get hundreds of millions to upgrade just to escape the proprietary hell that is Lightning.
Just tried my Lightning to VGA Adapter, which is very similar to the Digital AV Adapter. Works just fine. Looks like it’s just an issue with the USB 3 Camera Connector
I adore how the Apple super fans keep arguing for scenarios that aren’t on the table and not even Apple has addressed or publicly argued for at any point.
-Apple has been free to do whatever it wants for iPads and MacBooks and chose USB-C because its own Lightning standard cannot offer the same charging and data transfer rates.
-Neither the EU not any other brand or manufacturer has a new “USB-D” like standard in the pipeline.
The whole idea behind forcing the USB-C I/O upon all consumer tech is the fact that cable CONNECTORS AND PORTS ARE 100% ARBITRARY and neither consumers nor cable/port technology gets more advanced if brands are free to shape the ports and connectors as they wish.
Please explain to us how a future “USB-D” would benefit from having different connectors and ports than the current USB-C standard.
How does a new connector shape and port that’s different from those found in USB-C offer better data transfer and charging? How?
The internals will change and be upgraded. But the cable ends and ports won’t because there’s no reason.
Apple itself has opted for USB-C for its most powerful and expensive products.
Don’t you think Apple would have done “Super Lightning” or some other proprietary b.s. for MacBooks and iPads if it actually had something more innovative and superior compared to Lightning?
Let the EU stop the outdated madness that is proprietary USB 2.0(Lightning) on iPhones!
since you now know about the bug, it will stop working 😆😆
Worry not, Apple will sell you a newly-designed adapter for iOS 16.5. It will only cost $79.95.
Love the EU. Yanks will be pleased as it’ll be an opportunity to make more money.
Wow, I had to Google because I thought you were being satirical. It’s real.
An Apple device not working seamlessly? Surely you jest.
Has there ever been a buggier iOS than iOS 16? (It's a rhetorical question.)
And the beta testers too. Not one of them tried it? Really?
