This page lists the products I’ve used (plus some updates where the original product has become unavailable) to connect the Blue Yeti USB microphone to an iPhone and iPad. Thus enabling the recording of good quality audio on videos and audios plus live streams and podcasts. This list relates to my YouTube video and article on the subject.
Accessories for connecting a Blue Yeti to an iPhone/iPad with USB-C port
In this section I have listed some cables and adapter that will enable the connection of a newer iPhone/iPad with USB-C port to a Blue Yeti Microphone. My preferred method would be to replace the supplied microphone cable with one that terminates in a USB-C connector, since this is the most simple and elegant solution. However, the same result can be achieved by using the microphone cable supplied with a Blue Yeti with an adapter. The choice is entirely yours.

Accessories for connecting a Blue Yeti to an iPhone/iPad with Lightning port
In this section I have listed accessories to enable the connection of a older iPhone/iPad devices with lightning port connectors. My preferred method is to use the Apple USB 3 Camera Adapter since this allows charging of the iOS device while recording, allowing extended recording/streaming sessions. It also allows the Blue Yeti to work with early iOS devices like the iPad 4. Later devices should work fine with the Apple USB adapter, however it does not allow the simultaneous connection of a power source that can extend the length of your recording/streaming session.
