Can you use a USB to USBC cable to charge an iPhone 15 Pro Max?

The phone comes with a C to C cable, but much of the world, hotels, planes, cars still only have USB ports. Can they charge an iPhone Pro Max? Does Apple make a cable for this purpose? I couldn’t find one. Does some other manufacturer like Anker?


Thanks very much.

It looks like you can use USB C to "USB"


From this page: Charge and connect with the USB-C connector on your iPhone 15 - Apple Support (UG)


  • If your car has a USB-A connector, you can use a compliant USB-C to USB-A cable.


The "compliant cable" part is something I'm not sure of. Many 3rd parties make these types of cables, like Belkin: amazon link


Hopefully someone else can chime in there.
