I was not expecting HDMI out of such a cable, just something more than 12 watts charging and faster USB data than 480 Mbps. I was expecting far more than just a USB 2.0 cable. I'm rather disappointed with the Lightning to USB-C cable I have. I presume at some speed it would allow me to connect USB-C drive and transfer files. It’s advertised as a charging cable and not a high speed data cable so I wonder about USB 3.0 speeds to my MacBook Pro for things like being an internet hot spot, or move files back and forth. This brings my own question to this answer and I wonder ifĪn Apple Lightning to USB-C cable be able to do more. ![]() I tried plugging in different USB-C devices and it doesn't appear to support attaching anything else. The Lightning to USB-C cable I have, which is not from Apple, can only charge my iPhone and provide USB 2.0 data to and from my MacBook. Maybe a dock like you describe exists, I just have my doubts. Most USB-C docks rely on the connected host to provide a DisplayPort signal, and the dock has a chip in it (perhaps much like that Lightning dock) to provide the HDMI conversion. If you were to connect your iPhone to most USB-C docks then it's not likely to do much but maybe charge your phone. You can also use a Mac USB-C Power Adapter or third-party adapters that comply with applicable safety standards. You can use any of the adapters listed below to charge your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or iPod. Here's someone that tore one of those adapters apart: You can use either a USB-A to Lightning cable or the newer USB-C to Lightning cable with your iPhone. ![]() The Lightning to HDMI adapter actually has a small computer (as in small enough to fit in a single chip) inside to do the HDMI conversion. No, plugging your Lightning to USB-C cable into a display with USB-C inputs would not allow the iPhone to send video to the display.
