Hidden lightning cable iPhone 15 Pro

Hi, I saw a few videos on youtube claiming there’s a hidden Type-C to Lightning cable in the iPhone 15 Pro box. I was wondering if anyone who has bought one could just check if there actually is a hidden cable (it should be underneath the Type-C to Type-C cable compartment, so basically the box should be cut open). If anyone has an iPhone 15 Pro and is willing to check for me and tell me the truth about it, thanks a lot.

You don't need to cut open the box because the type-c cable compartment is as deep as the thickness of the box so you can feel it with 2 fingers. There's nothing else in the box no hidden cables.Besides a type-c to lightning cable is useless if you have an iPhone 15 pro

No. There is no hidden Lightning to USB C adapter or cable included with iPhone 15 models. Since, iPhone 15 is USB C, what would you actually do with such a cable?


If you actually need one however, Apple sells USB C to Lightning Cables. Amazon does as well. Plus there are loads of adapters you can buy which you can plug the USB C part into, to turn it into a lightning cable.

As mentioned unfortunately an adapter was not included (the only adapter Apple provided years ago was the one for the EarPods when the headphone jack was eliminated but then Apple stopped including the EarPods. I guess the cable you mentioned could be useful in some cases….like if you wanted to use your phone to charge a Lighting device (like I tried for my son’s iPhone 13 at a football game) but in general I don’t think a lot of people would need that. Might be other situations I can’t think of right now. But no…unfortunately no hidden cables at all.
