Apple Lightning to USB-C cable supporting USB Power Delivery fast charging at up to 20W, plus USB 2.0 sync. The cable to use with a modern USB-C charger or a USB-C Mac. Data speed is unchanged from the USB-A version — the gain is entirely in charging.

Notes & Compatibility
Fast charging needs both halves: this cable AND a USB-C PD charger of 20W or more. A 5W cube gives you nothing extra. The iPad 7/8/9 and every Lightning iPhone cap out around 20W, so a 96W charger charges them no faster — buy the small one.
