Didn't all the accessories that relied on the old 30-pin connector stop working when Apple switched to Lightning a few years back?

I think you can use the lightening adapter on older accessories. This is the case for my logitech speakers I bought 3 years or more ago.

Same for the quite advanced Alesis IO dock.

Or they require an adapter to work.

Similar thing happened with iPod peripherals when Apple brought out the 30-pin connector about 10 years back.
