The USB Type-C To  Lightning Cable is a conveniently rugged cable with a Lightning connector at one end and a Type-C connector at the other. It may seem like quite a simple cable, but it’s capable of a lot. For starters, unlike the USB cable that comes in the box along with the iPhone, the  Cable lets you connect your phone directly to your laptop by plugging it into the Type-C port. This allows you to charge your iPhone without having to look for a spare plug point (a legitimately difficult thing in my household), and also lets you perform data transfers between your laptop and your iPhone. However, if you’re intent on looking for a plug point, and you will want to at some point, the  Cable comes with an optional adapter that lets you conventionally plug the iPhone into a power outlet and harness the cable’s fast-charging property that promises to top off your entire phone in just above an hour. That’s twice as fast as the out-of-the-box charger you get with the iPhone.

The  USB Type-C To  Lightning connector gives it a rather interesting third advantage. You can now plug your iPhone directly into the new iPad Pro. The iPad Pro 2018 boasts of a ‘charge your iPhone’ feature, allowing your phone to draw power from your iPad, so whether you’re at a coffee shop, a bus, or anywhere without a power outlet, your iPad Pro, in its infinite uses and capabilities, also serves as a power bank for your iPhone.

Lightning and Type-C interfaces can be interpolated in both positive and negative ways, which greatly facilitates users'daily use.
