Why are there no right angle lightning adapters?

[BlaqkAudio]

Anker sells a right angle Lightning cable. Bought the USB-C version for my brother, works great. Seems like you may have issues if you have a case with a tight opening around the Lightning port.

But as far as I can see from the Amazon Anker store and the Anker web site no right angle USB C to USB C. However on the Anker website is a right angle lightning to USB A 3ft and 6ft.

The links you quotes are indeed for the right angle Lightning cable from Anker, which is what this thread's about. I bought some right angle USB-C adapters rather than buying special purpose USB-C cables. The adapters are inexpensive and work fine at 10Mbps and for charging my iPad (I didn't test charging a Mac laptop with these.) These are the ones I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08CDGHQWF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Should anyone still curious of the subject, just bought 2x Right angle extension adapter, mean just a converter to the right-angle with 3+ inches cable & female in. Not cheap, but worth the purpose.

Based on Amazon reviews of the same item, it isn't MFI certified and may not work with newer iOS releases

Not a 90 but maybe this will work for you? It does a 180 and routes the cable underneath the iPad/iPhone.

Another reason to wish they'd ditch Lightning and go all in on USB-C

(and why they won't anytime soon -- $$$$)

I was going to order another Saramonic cable to use as an adapter, but they say it has been discontinued!

Why aren't we flooded with choices for right-angle Firewire adapters?

I can only imaging the millions Apple rakes in with their flimsy cords and the bottom mounted port.....am I crazy to think this is "built in obsolescence" at its worst?

Has anybody tried the cheap "charging adapter" that ships from China mentioned earlier?
