According to the FAQ on bluemic's website you will need an adapter for a lightning connector at the moment. There is a nice manual there too with some good documentation about the product.

If I already have a Blue Snowball, is this a serious upgrade? I'm looking for something better.
- Asked by Virginia D from Montreal

Answer
Spark Digital is a significant upgrade from Snowball.
As a studio mic, Spark Digital has a larger diaphragm capsule with one polar pattern (cardioid) so it offers more fidelity and sensitivity than the Snowball or Yeti. Spark Digital includes the Focus Control, which offers two different sonic options in one mic at the push of a button. It comes with an adjustable desk stand and built-in shockmount, and also includes y-cables for each platform with a headphone jack for zero-latency real-time monitoring.- Answered by Stacey M from Thousand Oaks
