Overview
Apple's own 1-meter Lightning to USB-A cable for charging and syncing an iPhone, iPad, or iPod with a Lightning connector, USB 2.0 speed, and compatible with a Mac, Windows PC, or any USB-A wall adapter.
This is the same cable Apple ships in the box, sold on its own as a spare for the desk or a bag. It runs at USB 2.0 speed, so it is meant for charging and basic syncing rather than fast data transfer. The connector is Lightning, not USB-C, so it fits older iPhones and iPads that still use that port. A USB power adapter is sold separately.
- 1 meter (3 ft) cable length
- Lightning connector on one end, USB-A on the other
- USB 2.0 charge and sync speed
- Works with iPhone, iPad, and iPod models using Lightning
Who it's for
Owners of a Lightning-port iPhone, iPad, or iPod who want a genuine, MFi-safe cable for a desk, car, or travel bag. Not for anyone with a USB-C iPhone 15 or later.
Pros and cons
- Genuine Apple part with Lightning connector
- Works for both charging and computer syncing
- 1 meter length suits desk or bedside use
- USB 2.0 only, no fast data transfer
- Power adapter not included
- Only fits Lightning devices, not USB-C ones
Performance notes
The cable handles charging and USB 2.0 syncing between a Lightning device and a computer or USB-A adapter. Charging speed depends on the power source it's plugged into, a modern USB-C PD adapter paired with the right combination can speed things up, but this cable by itself is a standard-speed 2.0 line rather than a fast-charge cable.
