Overview
Apple makes this cable to connect a device with a Lightning connector to a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port for syncing and charging. It also charges a USB-C enabled iPad directly.
Pairing it with one of the listed Apple USB-C adapters unlocks fast charging on select iPhone and iPad models. The compatibility list is huge, spanning iPhones, iPads, AirPods cases and Macs. The length entry reads in inches and looks wrong.
Who it's for
Apple users with Lightning devices who want a USB-C charging and sync cable. Owners of USB-C only devices have no use for the Lightning end.
Pros and cons
- Fast charging with listed adapters
- Syncs and charges
- Very wide device compatibility
- Light, round white cable
- Length field looks wrong
- Data speed not listed
- Cable power rating not stated
Performance notes
Fast charging depends on the Apple USB-C power adapter at the listed power levels and on the device supporting it. Syncing runs through the ports of a Mac. The cable itself has no listed power or data rating.
