I can't connect an external microphone HyperX quad qast to iPhone 16.

At the same time, the connection through this cable works with the iPhone 15 pro. The serviceability of Usb-c on iPhone 16 has been checked: both charging and file transfer to the computer work

iPhone 16, iOS 18

Guys, thanks! I solved the problem using various suggestions from ChaGPT. In general, I connected the microphone directly to the phone with a native Usb-microb USB microphone cable via hab. The Micro USB was plugged into the HIPER X Quad qast microphone, the USB was plugged into the hub, and the hub itself was plugged into the usb-c connector of the iPhone 16. This connection DID NOT WORK! But! It was the same connection that worked perfectly with the iPhone 15 pro phone. ChatGPT advised me to connect via a powered hub. Ok. I took the power bank and connected it to the same hub. And lo and behold! The microphone was working, but there was a problem immediately. : A message appeared on the iPhone 16 saying "This accessory uses too much power"! And then I replaced the power bank with a 220 volt power adapter. And then everything started working fine. Can someone explain to me why no additional power was needed with the iPhone 15 pro, but with the iPhone 16? I hope my story helps someone.
