Virtually every new smartphone sold worldwide now uses the same charging cable. Apple started to use USB-C with the iPhone 15, catching up with the company’s iPads and Macs which have all been USB-C ...

Unfortunately, Apple didn’t make a first-party USB-A to USB-C cable for this situation. Instead, the company sells a $29 USB-C to Lightning adapter as its official solution. My advice?

Apple moved from its old lightning connector to USB-C when it released the iPhone 15 in 2023. USB-C is a staple in Android and most other electronics, so it was refreshing to see Apple finally join.
