USB-C to Lightning cable

USB-C to Lightning cable is the everyday cable for charging and syncing Apple devices that still use the Lightning port from a USB-C charger or computer. By our assessment, its main strength is compatibility: it lets newer USB-C power sources talk to older Lightning gear without fuss. The downside is built into the format, because a cable only does one narrow job and becomes useless once the device side changes. In practice it is just a cord, which means reliability matters more than style and the whole experience depends on whether the plugs sit firmly. It sits beside other Apple charging leads and is more practical than an older USB-A cable when the wall adapter is already USB-C. The people who reach for it are the ones with Lightning devices; everyone else needs a different connector.
