Hey apple community!
I been checking out some cool stuff online about getting external usb-c SSDs for the new iphone 16 pro max but i currently use the iphone XR with a whooping 256GB lol! So yes im still in the stone era. (LOL)
Anyways, i am looking forward to extend the SSD or Storage of my iphone XR to at least 1TB and i seen some good external SSDs available cheap for 1TB and 2TB with a USB-C Cable due to the iphone 15 pro and pro max and up it is compatible with the USB-C but i still carry the iphone XR and i was wondering if there is a good cable that can read the SSD with a good LIGHTNING cable to USB-C with a good decent speed, so i can transfer and use for projects etc.

Anyways, i did some research about it but couldnt find anything whatsoever neither AI (googles ai) was able to give me a good response.


So this is what i found online but all i care about is the wire, or the cable to be fast as usbc to usbc but sadly i havent had any good luck, finding the usbc to lightning.

All i am mainly looking for is the cable since i got the SSD already. Im kinda new with cables, any help will be great!

(So the images i input in this thread is for the example of what i am trying to do.)

Any help can do. Thank you! 🙏
