Q: I have wired headphones from an iphone 8, i think they are lightning, and I want an adapter to plug headphones into an ipad 16
Q: Will this affect charging speed?
A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter. The Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter will limit the maximum charging speed to 24W for your iPhone or iPad. Here's a breakdown of how it affects charging: For USB-C iPhones (iPhone 15 and later) ⚠️ When you use the adapter to connect a Lightning cable to your USB-C iPhone: Charging is capped: The adapter itself limits the power delivery to a maximum of 24W. Slower than Max Speed: While 24W is fast, it is slower than the maximum charging speeds supported by the iPhone 15 Pro and later models, which can reach up to 27W when using a direct USB-C to USB-C cable and a powerful adapter. For maximum speed, you should charge directly via a USB-C cable. For Lightning Devices (iPhone 14 and earlier) ✅ The adapter is not typically used for these devices. Instead, you would use a USB-C to Lightning Cable (without the adapter) to connect your device to a modern USB-C power adapter. This setup allows for Fast Charging (up to 50% battery in about 30–35 minutes) with a 20W or higher power adapter, which is significantly faster than older USB-A chargers. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Q: Can I use this adapter to charge my iPhone 16 pro with the iPhone 12 plus cable wire Please let me know thank you
A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter. No, you cannot use the Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter with the cable that came with an iPhone 12 to charge an iPhone 16 Pro. Here’s why: The iPhone 16 Pro has a USB-C port. The iPhone 12 came with a USB-C to Lightning cable. This cable has a USB-C connector on one end (for the power adapter) and a Lightning connector on the other end (for the phone). The Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter is designed to connect a device with a USB-C port (like the iPhone 16 Pro) to a Lightning accessory. To use the adapter, you would need a Lightning cable, but the iPhone 12 cable is already a USB-C to Lightning cable. The two connectors wouldn't fit together. For the most straightforward and fastest charging, you should use a USB-C to USB-C cable to connect your iPhone 16 Pro to a USB-C power adapter. The iPhone 16 Pro comes with a USB-C cable in the box. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter. You're asking about using the Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter to connect a GoPro to an older iPhone.

Here's why: Adapter's Purpose: The Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter (MUQX3AM/A) is designed to connect a Lightning accessory (like old EarPods, or a Lightning cable for charging an old iPhone) to a USB-C device (like newer iPhones 15/16, or iPads with USB-C).

Q: Will this work with flash drives?
A: Hi Tyrone, thanks for reaching out about Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter. The Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter is primarily designed to connect Lightning accessories (like older iPhone models, AirPods, etc.) to a USB-C enabled iPhone or iPad. Its stated functions are charging, data, and audio.
