Wondering if I am able to use the 2017 iMacs that use Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) connectors with a Thunderbolt Display which has Thunderbolt 2 connectors.

Hello there, I have the same question. I must bought a new 13" USBC MBP and own a Apple 27" Thunderbolt display. I see that adapter that you suggested. How do I power the display? The old mag-safe power connected to my late 2012 MPB and I was good. The new MBP doesn't have any mag safe power ports on it. Can you help?
Thank you in advance.
Awesome! Thank you!
The display must be plugged in to AC power, and the MacBook Pro needs its USB-C charger. The MagSafe is not used.
It worked perfectly just like you said it would. Thank you.
Thunderbolt Display compatible with Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C)?
