How to use old iphone-to-USB A cable with new iPhone (USB-C)
Having gotten all the cables / adapters, etc. over the years for our old phones, now, having gotten new iPhones that all have USB-C, is there any way to make use of the old cables that connected to our phones (6S and 5S) that have USB-A endings? At the very least, I'd need a USB-A to USB-C for the one end, but then what about the other end? Is there something that would convert the part that goes into the old iphone to another adapter of some sort that would connect to the new phone? Beginning to wonder if it'd be better to deem the old cables as now being obsolete and just buy more USB-C to USB-C. I also still have Anker cables that are used to charge a phone into an older car's power port. One of those, however, only had a USB-A input, so, again, I'd need an A to C adapter. This is madness....and probably the main reason I keep older gear until it no longer works or falls apart! Planned obsolescence on the part of the industry to get you to buy new stuff all the time.
