Charging issues with usb-c to lightning How do I get my device to recognize this “new method” of charging and connection? When I connect my iPad or iPhone up to my Apple usb-c to lightning connector to my MacBook or directly to the MacBook charger they will not charge. I bought the cord to have a direct wired connection and save myself from packing yet another charge brick. I was also hoping this would make connecting my devices together more power efficient and simple. I have a 16” MBP, a 7th Gen iPad, and an iPhone 11; all up to date, running current OS. Thank you

You need a charging brick with a USB C connector.

For example:

Good luck!
