Apple Lightning Cables and Adapters Can Make Life Easy

Apple Lightning cables provide a flexible way to make your cable connections with your Apple devices. With a Lightning connector, you have the flexibility to take your devices wherever you need to work: whether youre on the go, working at home, or at the office. The Apple Lightning cable and adapter is available for sale on eBay, where you can get yours and enjoy the benefits of a lightning-fast charging experience.

The Apple Lightning cable, which was introduced in 2012, can be used on several Apple products. Below is a list of five devices that are compatible with the Lightning cable for charging purposes:

• iPhone - The first iPhone to use the Apple Lightning charger cable was the iPhone 5. Other iPhones that use the technology include all iPhone 5, iPhone 6, iPhone 7, iPhone 8, and iPhone X models.
• iPad - The iPad 4 was the first iPad to use the Lightning connector. Other iPads that use the Lightning cable include all iPad Air, iPad Pro, iPad 5, and iPad 6 models.
• iPod - The iPod Touch (5th generation) and iPod Nano (7th generation) were the first to use the Lightning technology. The iPod Touch 6th generation also uses a Lightning cable.
• Magic Keyboard - All Magic Keyboards by Apple charge with an Apple Lightning cable.
• Magic Mouse 2 - The Magic Mouse 2 is powered by a lithium-ion battery that recharges with the Lightning cable.

Adapters are different from cables because they are designed to convert a non-lightning cable into a Lightning cable. Here are some examples where youd need to make the conversion:

• Headphone jack - The newer iPhones no longer support headphone jacks. With a Lightning adapter, you can plug your headphones into a Lightning jack.
• 30-pin adapter - This adapter allows you to connect 30-pin accessories to a device with a Lightning jack.
• Magnetic adapter - This device reduces the wear and tear on your charging port and cable by magnetically connecting and disconnecting the charging pin.

Yes. Though Apple Lightning is explicitly designed for use with Apple products, there are quality Lightning cables available that can interface with other devices. There are new and used Apple Lightning cables compatible with HDMI cables, Micro-USB cables, and USB-C cables. Always check that your Apple Lightning charger or adapter is compatible with your device.
