This USB 2.0 cable connects your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to your computer's USB port via the Lightning connector for syncing and charging, or to the Apple USB Power Adapter via a wall outlet for charging the battery.

It is important to know

Choosing a data cable is often a matter of simple but key decisions: compatibility, length, and purpose. This cable makes sense if you use Apple devices with a Lightning connector and are looking for a basic solution for charging and transferring data. Before buying, consider where you will use the cable most often and whether the length and connector type really suit your everyday situations.

• The Lightning connector on one end and USB-A on the other means that the cable is not intended to connect directly to newer chargers or devices that only support USB-C.
• It is not suitable for fast-charging; if you expect higher charging speeds, check if your adapters and devices support it.
• The cable is not included in the kit – if you need multiple cables for different locations or users, additional pieces will need to be purchased.
• A standard design without reinforced materials is suitable for normal use, but with very frequent use, more durable (e.g. braided) cables can last longer.
