USB-C to Lightning Adapter doesn't work with certain accesories.

Really disappointed Apple are not supporting the Lightning accessories on the new phones.

I am in a similar situation.

In my old BMW X1 I have the infamous Y cable (mini jack + USB-A -> 30-pin male connector) which plugs into an Apple 30-pin female to Lightning male adapter.

This setup is working fine with all iPhone prior to the iPhone 15/15 Pro.

When I add the Apple Lightning female to USB-C male adapter and then connect my iPhone 15 Pro (iOS 17.0.3), the iPhone brings up the “this accessory is not supported message”.

Charging is working fine though.

hey guys. today I checked third adapter between type C to lightning for my new iphone 15 pro. and.. it doesnt work as all those I checked before. I am super sad and have a feeling that they dumped lightning support via adapters in release of phones in 2023.. :(

otherwise, did someone try certified apple adapter?

Same. I also know someone who has a blood glucose reader device that connects via lightning, and has the same problem with her new phone. I don't know if its a "MFi Certified" thing or what, but hopefully they release an update to address this.

New iPad and iPhone 15 so I purchased that adaptive cable and getting message that it’s not supported.

I could see such error if I was using a third party cable but common not Apple to Apple!

and try to sell that old cable when it’s becoming obsolete!!!!

The certified adapters themselves work fine, but most of my lightning accessories I plug into it are "not supported". I had to buy an old iPhone SE from eBay just to use my accessories :\

Same for me. Lightning card reader, Lightning to HDMI adapter and Lightning to USB-A adapter all give Accessory not Supported. However Lightning earphone adapter works even with a charging port so this is a data transfer problem.

I have a newer iPad that has the USB-C connector. Also have the Apple lightning video adapter that I was using on my old iPad Mini so I bought the USB-C to lightning adapter and figured it would work. Got the “this accessory is not supported" message. Tried various methods but no go....

Was rummaging thru my adapters box and discovered I had a "Dell Adapter USB-C to HDMI/DP, USB & Ethernet" so decided to try it on a whim and low and behold, it worked with no issues!!!!

I can now display video on my tv with the Dell Adapter and an HDMI cable plugged into it. Can't charge my iPad at the same time but I can watch videos on the bigger screen at least and the resolution is great.

There's a similar Dell adapter for about $50 (cheaper than buying Apple's $90 USB-C to video adapter).
