Apple markets Lightning to USB Cables for mobile devices with Lightning ports that can be charged by Apple USB Power Adapters.
Description[]
The cables are available in lengths ranging from 0.5 to 2 meters, and can also draw power from devices with USB-A ports. However, the cables only support up to USB 2.0, limiting data transfer speeds to 480 Mbit/s.[1][2]
This cable can be used in combination with a Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter to create a Lightning-to-Lightning connection between two iOS devices for data transfer. However, throughput will be limited to USB 2.0, slower than the built-in Wi-Fi of recent devices.[3][4]
