Focusrite 2i2
I may have the opportunity to buy one of these at a good price, which would allow me to use two mics on my guitar, or mic and pickup. Will this plug straight into the Apple USB to lightning converter? Or do I need a powered USB hub? (I'm a bit confused with how this is reported in Auria's list of tested devices.)

You need a powered hub. The best way is to get a USB Y cable and a small portable battery, makes the whole thing more portable so you don't need to be near an outlet. Added bonus in my case was that this also eliminated the ground hum from the powered hub. Follow the link for more details:

Be aware that some of the first incarnations of the 2i2 had issues with guitar's signal clipping, even with the 2i2's gain all the way down. I remember reading that some people were experiencing the clipping with stock Fender single coil pickups.
Tx guys. I'll still have my iRig for my electric, @supanorton, though I'm suspecting that this is an older unit, as it's quite cheaply priced. Tx, @richardyot, this is for home use, but it would be nice to not get hum.
Interesting. I see a lot of reported problems with the 2i2. Nuts. I'll have to find out how old the unit is, if it's still available.
FWIW I have a 2i4 and am very happy with it. It's very similar to the 2i2.
Ditto on the 2i4. I love it. It does it's job well.
No problems here. These are solid units if taken care of.
True, there is no pad for hot inputs(electric guitar). But it's been great for my acoustic and my condenser mic.
Right - that might explain some differences, the 2i4 does have a pad, and it's needed for humbucker outputs from electric guitars.
However if you intend to use it with condenser mics it should be OK.
One thing to add, in 2016 Focusrite released an updated model(across the whole Scarlett line, I believe) that is somehow better... I haven't looked into the differences 'cause I'm happy with the old one.
Then it might be fine, as it would be mostly for condenser mics. I might want to plug an acoustic pickup into it, but not humbucker.
If you've got the iRig for guitars, you'll be fine. The 2i2 does fine with condenser mics, and not all of them seem to have a problem with instrument inputs.
