  • A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter. No, you can't use the Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter with an iPhone SE 2nd Gen. The adapter is designed for new iPhones and iPads that have a USB-C port to connect to older accessories with a Lightning connector.

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?

submitted by Daisymadz - 22 days ago
  • 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

submitted by Paulie g - 1 month ago
  • 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.

Q: Can I use this to connect a GoPro to my older iPhone?

submitted by Techgirl - 3 months ago
  • 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. This is a bit of a tricky combination, and the Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter is generally NOT the correct adapter for this purpose. 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). It converts USB-C to Lightning. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Q: Will this work with flash drives?

submitted by Tyrone - 6 months ago
  • 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. However, connecting a flash drive to an iPhone using only the Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter is generally not how it's intended to work, and it likely won't function as you expect. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Does not stay connected

It constantly disconnects for no reason. I use it in my car with my iphone 15 pro. Sometimes it reconnects itself, other times I have to unplug the cord and plug it back in. Either way, I have to wait for Carplay to reboot. I thought maybe I had a defective one, so I exchanged it, but the new one does the same thing. It’s super frustrating.
