USB-a to Lightning not working Is there any reason my iPhone would charge using a USB-c to lightning cable but not a USB-a to lightning cable? I've brought two new Apple USB-a to lightning cables, and neither will charge my iPhone the USB-c does just fine. Unfortunately, the plugin for my car is for USB-a, so I can't get it to charge there.

USB C to USB C charging I have the same problem as many others where the original USBC charge cable, and all other USB C chargers and cables, no longer work with my IPad Pro. I haven’t seen a solution addressed here yet. I can only charge using USBA to USBC cables, which are slower. Why isn’t there a common solution for this yet?

Charging issues with usb-c to lightning How do I get my device to recognize this “new method” of charging and connection? When I connect my iPad or iPhone up to my Apple usb-c to lightning connector to my MacBook or directly to the MacBook charger they will not charge. I bought the cord to have a direct wired connection and save myself from packing yet another charge brick. I was also hoping this would make connecting my devices together more power efficient and simple. I have a 16” MBP, a 7th Gen iPad, and an iPhone 11; all up to date, running current OS. Thank you

Your iPhone is compatible with MagSafe wireless charging (which is faster and more convenient).

For that to work, you would need:
