2 Pack for Lightning Female to USB C Male Adapter
These adapters, one usb c to apple lightning and the other apple lightening to usb c, give a good firm connection that doesn’t wobble or come loose. Used as charging lead converters they worked flawlessly with no noticeable reduction in charging speed or heat being generated in the adapter. Would recommend.
I’ve come across and possess numerous adapters that convert USB-C to Lightning, but there are few options available for the reverse conversion. With Apple’s recent transition from the Lightning connector to the universal USB-C interface for iPhone, iPad, and AirPods, many existing cables have become obsolete due to the forced switch.
These adapters prove to be a valuable solution by breathing new life into outdated and legacy cables, addressing the critical issue of global e-waste. This scenario mirrors past instances when Apple phased out the 30-pin connector, leaving millions of consumers with obsolete devices and cables.
The adapters function as expected, crafted from a high-quality aluminium alloy. They effortlessly connect to various devices, not limited to Apple products. I successfully used them with a Meta Quest 2 VR headset, several Android phones, and USB-C headphones without encountering any issues. This versatility enables me to continue using my extensive collection of lightning cables with newer USB-C devices, such as my iPhone 15. This not only prevents e-waste but also saves me from investing in expensive cables that exceed the cost of these adapters.
While the price may initially seem high at 4 per adapter, it’s a modest investment for the ability to prolong the use of my otherwise perfectly functional cable collection. Importantly, these adapters maintain the original cable’s slim profile, adding no extra width or bulk, and they have no discernible impact on the charging experience. The only thing I wish they had, was a way to attach these to the cables so they don’t risk being lost.
Does what you need it to, and doesn’t have any noticeable impact on speed for charging or data transfer.
I did have a weird issue where an android phone kept thinking there was water in the USB-C port but I think that was more to do with the device I was connecting into it.
Pros:
Specialized Functionality: The adapter serves a specific purpose – facilitating communication and fast charging between a phone and a computer. This specialization can be an advantage for users who want a dedicated device for these functions.
Fast Charging Support: With support for 27W Power Delivery (PD), the adapter enables fast charging, providing a quick and efficient power-up for your devices.
Compact and Well-Built: The small size (2.8cm x 1cm x 0.4cm) makes it highly portable and easy to carry. The solid and well-built construction suggests durability and longevity.
Data Transfer Speed: The adapter supports data transfer speeds up to 480Mbps, ensuring relatively fast and efficient data exchange between the phone and computer.
Niche Usefulness: While it may have limited functionality, it can be highly valuable for users who specifically need a reliable communication link and fast charging without the extra features.
Cons:
Limited Functionality: The adapter has a very narrow scope, excluding support for various peripherals like headphones, mouse, keyboard, and more. Users looking for a multi-functional adapter may find this limitation restrictive.
Not Versatile: The lack of support for OTG video and audio functions, Apple Pencil (1st generation), and other peripherals makes it less versatile compared to more feature-rich adapters.
No Support for Common Accessories: The adapter does not support a range of common accessories such as flash drives, card readers, printers, microphones, and cameras, limiting its use in diverse scenarios.
Specialized Storage Consideration: Due to its small size, users need to be cautious about where they store the adapter to avoid losing it. The small dimensions may make it prone to being misplaced or easily overlooked.
Niche Market: The specialized nature of the adapter means it caters to a specific audience with particular needs. It may not be suitable for users seeking a more versatile solution that accommodates a broader range of devices and functions.
The Lighting to USB C Adapter, Charger Connector just works, if like me you have several iPhones being used around the house and the car, some lighting and some USB C, I found it annoying having to keep changing the cables over especially in the car that I share. This little adapter is compact but well made, you get two in a pack so you can leave one in the car and the other in the house or just keep one as a spare.
So far I have not had any problems, if you use Apple Car Play you will be glad to know it works flawlessly including playing music and using Apple Maps which was the main reason for using the connector for me.
As for supports up to 27W fast charging, I have to take the manufacturers word as I have no way of checking, however I have not noticed any change in charging times.
Negatives I’m struggling to find any, the only thing it would be is if it could come with some sort of rubber connector to allow you to attach it to your cable when not in use, of course if your not swapping iPhones between lighting and USB C connectors then this will not matter to you. Would I recommend them – most definitely yes.
First off, I’m not an Apple product fan but I have an older Iphone SE and an Ipad for work so these appealed to me so I could use these 2 devices with the USB C ports on my fast chargers and laptop. No need to get new cable or whatever.
Secondly, these are only converters for charging and data and won’t work for certain other functions – for the money I’m not going to quibble, but then more prolific Apple users might be after something that does a bit more.
They do exactly what I need them to do and that’s to use my old cables in my new chargers.
This is actually a really good product. It allows you to move away from the lightening connector; while not having to throw away lots of perfectly good lightening cables.
The adapter just takes a lightening connector; and makes it a USB-C connector. Genius!
Very highly recommended if you have (like I do) a lot of old (yet perfectly working) lightening cables; and have moved away either to an Android device (with USB-C) or to the new iPhone 15 series which is all USB-C.
Truly excellent.
These work perfectly. They are a USB-C to lightning adapter for my new iPhone 15. I can use this to enable me to charge using my old cables and to use my lightning headphone.
There are 2 included so I can have 1 upstairs and the other downstairs, meaning I don’t have to get rid of my old cables and headphones.
Great quality and value.
There are 2 adaptors in the packet, each with a male USB C connector and a lightning socket. Each adaptor measures 25 x 12 x 5mm i.e. small and easy to lose – keep them in the packet until needed. They’re well made with a solid feeling black plastic housing with steel USB C protruding. These adaptors are not for audio, and there’s a small card inside the packet saying “Not for audio” in bold. They can be used for charging and data in specified cases (read the product description carefully). I could charge and get a data connection between a Samsung A13 and a laptop, using one of these adaptors connected to a lightning (male) to USB A (male) cable connected to a laptop. Connecting a Sony Xperia XZ2 to the PC (or to a charger) by the same method did nothing. Similarly, plugging in a lightning headset does nothing. So in summary, useful little adaptors, but do be aware of the limitations on compatible equipment.
I had brought new powerbank and leads for my iPhone and a month later my phone gives up on me! Now I have the new one it is a C type charger so I felt I had wasted money but then I see these little adapters and wondered if they would be any good.
They are perfect, the each clip onto the end of my leads and powerbank and then straight into my new phone. This has saved not only money but from having more things ending up in landfill.
Great idea and so small and compact too.
I like these, as it means I don’t need to take a separate cable for charging an iPad, android phone or whatever. The connections at either end seem solid and there’s been no problems with charging any other items.
Anything that means less cables can only be a good thing, and these take up no space at all. Well worth the money.
Having bought the i15 pro, I was looking to buy USB-C cables across the house. However, wife still uses i13 and have iPad using lightening connectors. This adaptor seems to be solution, no need to buy expensive cables. Just buy these and connect to existing cables and your new device with USB-C charges fine. Really small and therefore easy to carry around. They fit nicely into the lightening connector making a noise to tell you that’s its perfectly fitted & doesn’t come out unless pulled. Also comes in multiple colors to match your phone colour. They also give lifetime warranty for any manufacturing defects which is really good.
I’ve seen many adapters to convert USB-something to Lightning, but never the other way. As Apple are now sunsetting the use of the Lightning connector for the iPhone and iPad range and looking to move towards a more universal USB-C interface, it will leave a collection of cables unusable. These will give obsolete cables a new lease of life and prevent waste as what happened in the past when Apple binned the 30-pin connector which annoyingly left consumers with unusable devices and cables.
Works as you would expect; connect the adapter and plug into your USB-C device of your choice. Doesn’t need to be an iPhone/iPad either. I can keep one cable and one of these adapters in the car rather than carrying around 2 cables for the collection of electronics our family has.
A little expensive for four quid a pop, but I expect that the Apple MFI Certified charge applies to the Lightning sockets in a similar way to the plugs. For me it’s a small price to pay to continue using otherwise perfectly working cables I have collected over the years. Doesn’t add any width to the original plug so should be compatible with most device cases and covers.
Hi this consists of two lightning to USB-C adapters. The adapters are well constructed, solid and the lightning cable fits neatly and securely into the adapter. I tried this with the USB-C adapter plugged into a number of different devices and all worked with no problem and the USB-C connector connected securely with each one.
Whilst I have software to check Iphone fast charging I haven’t been able to verify that this adapter supports fast charging though its states that it does. The price for this is well priced and these are extremely useful to have handy in a backpack or even a wallet to keep for circumstances where there isn’t the adapter you need.
As long as you are not expecting this adaptor to do anything but charge your device, then this adapter works fine. It means I have to take fewer charging devices with me as my MacBook and Ipad both use USB-C
Being that Apple has now changed over to USB Type C, instead of changing all my cables, I got these adapters. They’re small and compact and made out of metal. They feel well built and good quality.
Data transfer and Sound works perfectly and notice no difference in quality. They will fit nicely in my tech bag and go with my Macbook.
I could say they’re quite fiddly and small but that is very minor issue.
I use an android phone with a USB C connector and my partner uses an iPhone with a lightning connector. When we travel together we’ve been carrying two charger cables but with these adaptors we only need one. They have metal cases and seem pretty robust. A small card included with the package says that they’re not for audio — I can’t comment on that as we’ve only used them for charging our phones but for that they work well
There’s not much to say about these little adapters, other than they’re pretty handy and a good value for money. They do the job perfectly and the colour matches my iPhone colour too, should it be plugged in. I’ve used them to convert a couple of my lightning chargers to USB C for the new iPhone and I have no complaints. Deffo saved me a few pounds buying new cables 🙂
These adapters are solidly built and click nicely into place. There are two in a pack and they do exactly what I wanted them for.
Nobody in my house has an iPhone but we do have several of those charging cables that split into three connectors. Only two of the three connectors are at all useful to us and, with a dwindling number of micro-USB devices, the shortage of USB-C connectors was causing more fights than who is worst at hogging the bathroom.
Each adapter now gives us two USB-C chargers for every plugged in cable.
Very good, allows you to convert an Apple Lightning connection – into USB C for device charging
Great to use with the multi cables that have 1 connection of each type – but if like me you don’t have any apple devices – that cable goes unused
Not anymore
You get two of these adapters in the pack and they basically adapt the lightning cable to be used in a usb c port, to charge and data sync, ( these are not OTG adapters ). They look and feel solid and should last the term, there’s not a lot more you can say about these adapters. Good value for your dosh.
Good solid aluminium adaptors that do exactly what they are sold for, charging and NOT audio/video. They need to be judged on what they are and not for lacking something they are not designed for.
If you have older lightning cables but all your new chargers are USB as they should be, then this is the simplest solution unless you want to go replacing all your cables.
