I’m thinking of getting the latest MacBook Air to replace my mid 2010 MacBook Pro. I want to use my LaCie external hard drive for backups, which has a USB 2.0 cable. What type of cable would I need for that?

That’s also compatible with my iPad Air 4 gen if I need it. Do you know if an iPhone 12 mini can be plugged in directly or do I need another adapter for that.
