Overview
Apple's USB-C to Lightning Cable is a 1-meter cable for charging, syncing and transferring data between a Lightning-equipped iPhone or iPad and a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port.
This is the Lightning-side cable Apple ships for older iPhone and iPad models that predate the USB-C switch, sold separately from any power adapter. Its main value is fast charging when paired with one of Apple's higher-wattage USB-C adapters, rather than the cable adding anything on its own.
- USB-C connector on one end, Lightning on the other
- Supports fast charging with compatible adapters
- 1 meter (3 feet) length
- Also usable for data sync and transfer
Who it's for
For anyone with a Lightning iPhone or iPad who needs a USB-C ended cable to charge from a modern USB-C adapter, laptop or Thunderbolt 3 port. Not relevant to newer USB-C iPhone and iPad models, which use a different cable.
Pros and cons
- Works with Apple's USB-C fast-charge adapters
- Also handles data sync and transfer
- 1-meter length suits desk or bedside use
- Power adapter sold separately
- Only fits Lightning devices, not USB-C iPhones or iPads
Performance notes
Fast charging depends on the adapter it is paired with. Apple lists the 18W, 20W, 29W, 30W, 61W, 87W and 96W USB-C Power Adapters as the ones that unlock fast charging on supported iPhone models; a lower-power adapter will still charge the device, just more slowly.
