When Apple changed from using its Lightening cables for charging and data transfer, to USB 3, users were left with a collection of old cables they couldn’t use. While the old Lightening cables couldn’t handle the data transfer speeds of USB 3, they were just fine for charging your new iPhone. These adapters made it possible to do just that. They slide on to the end of your Lightening cable and connect to the new standard. They also come with a tether so that you can use your cable with your old devices and not worry about losing the adapter. These are well made, work as intended and solve a real need. Note that the company has a series of other similar adapters as well. Read more

I just bought a new phone not realizing the charger connection has been changed once again. So thank goodness for these Lightening to USB adapters to save the day and prevent my current chargers from becoming useless. So far they work great and don’t negatively impact the speed or connection etc. They even come with little clips to attach them to the cord so they don’t get lost. And they come in several colors too. The price is very reasonable and costs much less than it would cost to purchase all new chargers. Very pleased overall. Read more

What a great way to keep using my existing charging cables and not have to toss then and buy all new ones. They work great and are a fraction of the cost of buying all new cables for my phone!!! Read more

I purchased these adapters because I replace my iPhone XR which had a lightning connector with a new iPhone 16 which has the USB-C connector. I didn't want to have to buy new cables to replace all my USB to lightning cables. The adapters worked great. My phone charged with no problems. I also used them on the cables we have in both our vehicles and Apple CarPlay worked flawlessly. I was able to use Google Maps on my information screen in my GMC pickup and my wife's Honda Pilot. Playing music from my phone over both vehicle's audio system using Carplay worked well. The adapters were of good quality and they each came with a nice loop which fit snuggly on the adapter and the other end fit nicely around the cable so you can disconnect the adapter from the cable, and it would remain looped to the cable so you won't have to store it or possibly lose it. This works great if you wish to use another phone with a lightning connecter on the cable instead of the USB-C connection. This feature is very handy. I was disappointed the adapters would not work on my new iPhone 16 with my earbuds with the Apple lightning cable connection. However, on the Amazon page for the product this is clearly stated although down towards the bottom of the webpage. Plus, the document that came in the package with the adapters clearly stated that the adapters would not work with the lightning cable earbuds. I will probably buy Bluetooth ear buds to solve this problem. All in all, this was a nice product for a good price, and I would recommend it for charging, data transferring and the Apple CarPlay ability. Read more

Great converter for charging, but not for Apple CarPlay. Didn’t work. Read more

These were perfect after the chargers changed. I never change my phone until I absolutely have to and didn’t know about the charger change until later. Instead of buying a new cable, I got these and was able to keep my cables while just putting these on and being able to use them without spending tons of money on more chargers. They dot get too hot, they work well without struggle, and they’re not obtrusive or clunky and in the way. Read more

The product works. I like the safety holder that keeps the phone from falling off the charger. It is a fast charger. It allows you to use the old long cords you already have. I have not noticed any significant heat with use of this adapter. They are very small and go anywhere you go. Read more

If you’re upgrading to an iPhone 15, 16, or 17 but still have a pile of Lightning cables around, these Thousover Lightning-to–USB-C Adapters are a convenient way to reuse what you already own. They’re compact, well-built, and support fast charging and data transfer — but the connection fit isn’t perfect. 🏗️ Good Build Quality The overall build feels solid in the hand: • Durable casing • Smooth edges • No cheap or flimsy feel They look like they’ll survive being tossed in a bag or glove box without falling apart. 🔌 Fast Charging & Data Transfer For basic charging and syncing, these work as advertised. • Fast charging kicks in on supported iPhones • Data transfer works reliably • Great for travel or as backup adapters Just plug a Lightning cable into the adapter and you’re instantly set up for USB-C charging. 🔗 Fit Is Not Completely Solid Here’s the biggest drawback: The connection between the original Lightning cable and your USB-C iPhone doesn’t feel as tight or solid as a true USB-C cable. • Slight wiggle • Can disconnect with movement • Not ideal for use while holding your phone or in the car It works — but it’s not a “premium” connection. 📦 Good Value for a 4-Pack You get four adapters for the price many brands charge for one. This makes them perfect to: • Leave in different rooms • Keep in your car • Keep one in a travel kit • Share with family 🎯 Final Verdict The Thousover Lightning-to–USB-C Adapters offer a good build, fast charging, and a great value, but the connection between cable and phone could be more secure. If you just need a simple way to keep using your old Lightning cables, these will get the job done — just be aware the fit isn’t quite as stable as a dedicated USB-C cable. Recommended for: ✔️ Budget-friendly backup adapters ✔️ Light charging needs ✔️ Travel kits or extra locations A practical, affordable solution — with a small connection caveat. Read more
