Charger
I lost my iPad Air charger so bought what I thought was a new one. I bought a
USB-C to Lightning Cable. What do I need to buy now so I can actually plug it in and charge?
Thank you.

If your unidentified iPad Air is a 3rd generation model, the cable you bought is okay for this charger:--> Buy 20W USB-C Power Adapter - Apple
If your unidentified iPad Air is a 4th generation model, you can use the same charger listed above, but you need a USB-C to USB-C cable like this:--> USB-C Charge Cable (1 m) - Apple
