prices on 470 modelsUSB-A to Lightning
— a device with a USB-A connector on one side and a proprietary 8-pin Apple Lightning connector on the other.The Lightning interface is used only in Apple's portable technology (specifically iPhones and iPads) since 2012; before this, the 30-pin standard was used (see the corresponding section). Accordingly, all such cables and adapters are designed to work with Apple devices. However, most often it refers to a cable (see "Type") — which can be used to connect an Apple gadget to a USB port on a computer or charger. However, adapters of this format are also available, for instance, to connect USB (microUSB) devices to a Lightning port.
