USB-C to Lightning Cable 3 ft

This Amazon Basics cable carries Apple MFi certification and connects Lightning devices to USB-C ports for charging and data transfer. It supports up to 2.4 A output and 480 Mbps sync speeds. A nylon braided jacket and reinforced connectors are tested to withstand repeated 90-degree bends. The 3-foot length suits desk or bedside use.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Owners of iPhone 5 through 14 series, iPad Pro 9.7 in and 10.5 in, iPad Air 2 and 3, iPad mini 2 through 5, and compatible iPod models get certified compatibility. Buyers who need a USB-A plug, a longer reach than 3 feet, or a cable rated for higher wattage than 18 W Power Delivery should choose a different model.

MFi certification and 18 W Power Delivery

The MFi badge guarantees the cable is recognised by iOS without warning messages. When paired with an 18 W or higher USB-C Power Delivery charger, supported iPhone models reach 50 % charge in roughly 30 minutes. Without such a charger the fast-charging benefit is not available.
