Is this barcode scanner compatible?

Has anyone tried this barcode scanner https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074H1S1HJ/ref=crt_ewc_title_huc_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1BNP2CRKOIL1E ? I have an Android Tablet that I use for my register and I also have an Iphone7+ that I could use.

That scanner is not compatible. Here is the list of compatible Hardware for Android tablets, and here for iPads. You cannot hook up a scanner to iPhone.

Just like any product hardware connection is one thing, software connection is another.

Has anyone gotten another scanner to work other than the Socket. I need one but I can't put out $200 right now.

Why can you not connect the socketmobile scanner to an iPhone? In the manual I received with it, it states can use with iPad, iPod Touch and iPhones.

There are many models of Socket, It must be a 7Ci. Is this what you have?
