I am asking because I find there is a reboot bug whenever I use the Braille Sense via Bluetooth with my iPhone 15 Plus, but would still like to be able to use the Braille Sense with my iPhone without having to unpair and repair it every time, which seems to be what I have to do at the moment to stop the rebooting error from occurring.
It seems that tech in general honestly just does not like me, I seem to have very bad luck with it.
Thanks

Try it?
I don't use Braille so this isn't something that I can provide sound advice on, however since your iPhone has a USB-c port there's nothing stopping you from trying. Worst case scenario you buy a general purpose USB-c to USB-a adapter and it doesn't work, but contrary to adapters for the Lightning connector, a USB-c to USB-a adapter can still be useful for other tasks in the future.
I get an error
"This accessory uses too much power"
Is there any way around this? I also tried it with my phone charging through magsafe but it did not work either.
I am just wondering if someone has found a way around this.
Powered hub
If the Braille display doesn't provide an alternative way to supply power, the workaround is to buy a powered hub, or a power and data merging USB cable that you can connect to a power supply while using the display tethered to the phone. I'm not sure whether those cables that merge independent power and data sources into a single destination are still a thing for USB-c though, but back in the USB-a days they used to be commonly used to power external hard drives from two USB-a ports. The powered hub is guaranteed to get rid of that power consumption message, however the simple fact that you get that message means that there's a huge chance that drivers for your display will not be available on iOS, unless Braille displays are part of the USB HID specification which also includes keyboards, mice, touchscreens, and game controllers making all those devices compatible with any proper USB stack without requiring drivers, but I don't think that's the case here.
No, as I understand it…
No, as I understand it. There are certain drivers that allow for communication over USB to brail devices that Mac has but IOS devices lack. I'm sure someone mor technically informed will be able to give a better explanation.
I've tried it with a brail display with my iPHone 15. Don't get the power issue, but I also don't get any communication to voiceover.
