Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter

The USB-C to Lightning Adapter lets you connect your Lightning accessories to a USB-C-enabled iPhone or iPad to conveniently provide three key functions — charging, data and audio — with a single adapter. This adapter has a braided cable for added durability.

Plug the USB-C end of the adapter into the USB-C connector on your iPhone or iPad, then connect your Lightning accessory. 

This adapter supports connection to most cars, including those that work with CarPlay. You can also directly connect a USB cable from your car into the USB-C connector on your iPhone.

This adapter provides a maximum of 24W when charging iPhone or iPad models with a USB-C connector. For faster charging performance, use a USB-C cable to connect a power supply directly to your iPhone or iPad.

Transfer data to and from your device

Connect the Lightning connector of this adapter to a Lightning cable for data transfer. It provides data transfer speeds of up to 480 Mbps (USB 2).

The USB-C to Lightning Adapter requires no power itself, but devices that you connect to it can draw power from your iPhone or iPad.

Connect to CarPlay

You can use the USB-C to Lightning Adapter with wired CarPlay in most vehicles. However, some combinations of adapters, cables and vehicle entertainment systems may disrupt the wired CarPlay connection. In this situation or for cars that only support wired CarPlay, use a direct connection with a USB-A to USB-C cable
