iPhone 16 Pro Max Can iPhone or iPad Pro run SuperDrive?

No. Besides, what software would you use to read the DVD files, navigate the menus, and watch the content on the disc?
 
Well I would have thought with all the apps out there surely there’s one that would play and decode the disc. But if it can’t power the drive there’s my answer but I thought you could power an external backup drive with the usb-c, if so why not the SuperDrive?
 
Just out of curiosity, I tried this with my M2 iPad Pro and SuperDrive in a USB enclosure. While the DVD did make startup sounds after inserting into the drive connected to my iPad Pro, it never appeared in the Files app nor was I able to play a video using the VLC app. It worked fine of course when I used it with my MacBook. Sorry….
