USB-A to lightning cable for iPhone 13 pro

Hi! can I use a USB-A to lightning cable to charge my iPhone 13 pro? I have a 25w power adapter that has a USB-A port in it and I was thinking of instead buying a new adapter that has a USB-C port it in, why not use my old adapted and buy a USB-A to lightning cable instead to save money? Thank y'all!

yep, you can certainly use your old cables & chargers.


although.. if you're planning to buy a new cable just to use your charger..

buying the USB C power supply is the same cost as a cable from Apple

20W USB-C Power Adapter

vs

Lightning to USB Cable (1 m)


Or, go non Apple

also on Amazon


Anker also has cables...

If it were me and the cost is a wash, I'd go with the newer USB C port personally
