Will an iPhone power a USB mic?

If you're just getting started you can use your iPhone or Android phone with a simple USB mic.
This is one way to connect a USB mic to a smartphone.
Some phones may need to run an external supply to power the mic. I didn't need to with my iPhone 13 Pro Max and I didn't have any other phone to test. I have a couple more USB mics at home so if anyone is interested in seeing that drop a note in the comments.

These camera capture cards were some I picked up at Walmart. Some others may work also.

I didn't see this when you uploaded - and I don't have an Iphone but this is really good to know. Your mic sounds awesome.

[@onlymyopiniontech]

A lot of android phones will power the mic just through the USB port so you could plug your Blue Snowball into your phone.
If you use a USB hub you can charge the phone at the same time or record longer. Have a great day and be safe out there!
