Hi!

Now that apple sell iPads and Macs with USB-C and iPhones with lightning, it's become a minor nuisance to carry around multi cables. I've more or less standardised on USB-C power supplies but still have to switch the cable accordingly.

I'm trying to find a USB-C to USB-C cable with a removable lightning adapter on one end (and optionally micro USB too). This is to ease the transition to USB-C and means I only need to carry one type of cable around for all my stuff, but still get proper fast charging and fast data via native USB-C on both sides (where available). I'm not fussed if I don't get fast charging from the lightning adapter.

Has anyone had any success finding a cable below without buying a separate USB-C->Lightning adapter that can be attached to an existing cable, and potential to lose it ?

Many Thanks!
Jonathan

Never mind, after ALOT of clicking through a plethora cables like above but with USB-A on host end, I finally found one manufacturer making what I want.
