It’s absurd that people would buy this, but we know there’s people that’s going to buy this.
So it’s so good to make products related to Apple products, they’re so loyal
Itās for people who have dedicated lighting devices like a $500 FLIR camera that is designed to plug into the lightning port on an iPhone. If you have one of those you need a dongle and will buy one.
It seems like thereās a few people on this thread who canāt wrap their head around the concept that there might be docks and other devices that use the lightning connector. I have several microphones with a lightning connector that I use on a regular basis. If I upgrade to the new phone, I wouldnāt be able to use them without this adapter. Itās absolutely necessary.
Funny enough I was just looking if this was something real today.
Had an Apple monitor that I needed to get connected to a Dell laptop. Didn’t know if the lighting in the back of the monitor would work plugged into the Dell laptop. Come to find out there are some differences.
I paid like 30 to 40 dollars for a dvi to hdmi adapter for an old computer monitor from factory direct.. adapters aint cheap in general..
Off topic but i was debating on buying 2nd gen airpods for 175 cad til i saw there was earpods that use lightning connector for 30 cad. Bought 2 pairs today and the sound is good. Keeping the other one as a gift or for when the pair im using breaks š
what’s the point of the cable? Why isn’t it just the USB C part but instead of the cable coming out the other end it’s the Lightning port? If the cables that short why not just remove it?
I might be mistaken, but my daughters last phone came with a USB2 to USB 3, none of which fit. I canāt remember. Maybe a lighting to USB 3, but the wrong way.
I donāt get why people get mad at Apple for making this adapter, so many companies do it anyways and people arenāt forced to buy it. Also if Apple didnāt make the adapter everyone would complain there is not an Apple adapter for this āproblemā.
iJustine: okay…you guys. I just got this BRAND NEW dongle from apple, and let me tell you….. I’m in love. Oh my God you guys like. this dongle is perfect. It fits in my iBag perfectly so I can take it with me on trips and I’m able to use it whenever I need it. Buy it. I influence you…..buy it……BUY IT NOW
I brought up in another thread that Iāll likely buy one of these because I own like 4 lighting cables and wonāt want to waste them, and I got downvoted into oblivion for being āan apple shillā
I honesty would not be surprised if Apple did this. People would buy it too š

Yāall know you can buy all kinds of third party cables and cords on the internet for super cheap right?
A fcking 5w power brick: $50
I could get a number 8 large meal (sprite), 20 mcnuggets, and a mcflurry and it would still not be as much as this shitty cord
Just wait till they come out with usb > usbc> lightning > hdmi Pro connector š«
Thatās lightning to usb-c
Iām looking forward to the dimwits with a USB-C to lighting cable, who buy this $29 adapter, instead of a $5 USB-C cable.
Itās selling at $31 USD where Iām from.
Minimum wage here is $5.5 USD.
yeah greedy hefers

If they didnāt offer this, yāall would be madder.

why am i not laughing?
You can usually find genuine apple adapters on ebay for real cheap
Cool, so I buy this and I can use my 3.5mm headphone to lightning dongle to this dongle and still use the headphones that came with my iPhone4?
what’s the point of the cable? Why isn’t it just the USB C part but instead of the cable coming out the other end it’s the Lightning port? If the cables that short why not just remove it?
Yo, that’s a lightning to USB-C. /s
I just want to charge my phone and use my headphones at the same time without buying another $40 adaptor because I already bought a lighting one.
Why they even named lightning? I still don’t understand that part.
80 cents on Taobao
I’ve had my Samsung USB-C cable for like 5 years, working perfectly fine…. apple be bugging
Hey, it’s average size for ios users.
So I can get this or I could get a 3 foot cord from Anker for $7. I like my lightning cable though, so Iāll get this.
Apple try not to scam their customers challenge (impossible)
Cant be real, only 29?
Lmao, Iāll just use spliced wires like I did last time since Iām a heathen like that

Apple is a major trend setter. You just watch. Give it a few years and *everybody* will be using usb-c to charge their phones.
Low effort af

Comes with a $30/month fee for use or it deactivates. Apple care.
Just apple things…
More expensive than a USB-C charger. And you kept defending Apple, why?
Usb 2 is even funnier

Whats even more of a joke is the transfer speeds
Dont buy apple
To be fair, I was expecting 50
