Apple - USB-C-to-USB Adapter - White

This item works perfectly and I couldn't really ask for more than a lower price. This is an Apple product so it comes at a premium, of course, but it's also useful and a required accessory if you have any previous electronics or computer accessories. If you are starting out new you can buy external and flash drives that are built for Thunderbolt 3 but if you have any existing drives or even an iPhone that isn't brand new you'll need this cable or a hub. This product deserves 5 stars but because it isn't cheap and is required I have to remove 1 star. If it were cheaper or something that wasn't required it would get 5 stars all day long. I opted to purchase a hub and this cable for a bit of versatility when connecting my devices. This cable works great when quickly connecting my phone or a flash drive on the go. Perfect and required for every MacBook laptop bag!

This is a neat little thing that makes it easy to get things like your USB flash drive to work with your new MacBook Pro, and if thats all you need you don't have to get out a big bulky attachment to plug your older style USB into you MacBook with this. It works like its part of the cable and I can't say to much about how sturdy it is yet but so far mine works good and doesn't show any signs of ware but I wouldn't recommend folding it. I will say that if all I want to do is take my laptop somewhere then I can just stick this in my pocket just incase with out noticing I'm packing something extra, and it can be used with external mouse. I will say that the price on this item is why I gave it 4 stars and I don't think a simple adapter needs to cost so much...and these should be thrown in with the computer and that would be great. I wish they would make this stuff in black or grey that would be less likely to get dirty and be really cool looking, but I do like the white clean look. Quick to plug in and go, easy to use if you need the plug in but don't want a large set of adapters to plug in get this.

In the age of 2019 where Apple is no longer considered a 100% reliable brand (face it, they are not what they once were and this is from a lifelong Apple User who got in well before it was trendy) the truth is things like using 3rd party products with our top tier devices becomes a risk. When you buy all 1st party or "authorized manufacturers" then any failure you may experience will carry the potential of being thrown back onto you. It seems Apple and most other companies are not as rigid about this yet but with the new generation of people nowadays who abuse warranties so when they want to sell their perfectly functioning equipment as brand new due to the exchange they receive I see in the very near future companies who will become more prohibitive when drafting their policies so they include disclosures. At the very least the adapter works and does it's job while matching with the Apple entourage. Slightly overpriced perhaps (I don't think so) but as a one time purchase it can potentially be overlooked.

the new MacBook retina 12" is slick. unfortunately it comes at the expense of built-in ports on the laptop. for a $1300 laptop, this accessory should be included in the box. however, apple chose the money-grab option, and forces the customer to buy this necessary accessory for an additional $20. this most basic adapter only allows for a single usb connection (usb 3+ I believe), however once you plug it in, you cannot simultaneously charge the laptop. I bought this first, as the adapter I wanted (the one that has power pass-through, hdmi, and usb) was not available for purchase until recently. this adapter is very limited, but a usb hub may increase it's utility. do yourself a favor, skip this accessory, and buy the adapter(s) with more functionality (though the extra $60 ($80 each) for those isn't something to sneeze at).

I was originally thinking of buying a hub/dock/multi-adapter for the USB-C port on my MacBook Pro, but then realized that the only report that I REALLY need is USB-A. Especially after seeing all the connectivity and quality issues that customers were having with the other non-Apple brand USB-C hubs/adapters, I decided I only trusted Apple for my connectivity and went with this adapter. Granted, it's an Apple product and it's not cheap, but you definitely want the best for your expensive Apple machine. I've only been using it so far with a corded mouse, so I can't really comment on speeds with external hard drives and stuff. It doesn't look as bad as it does in-person than in the image. It feels sturdy, and in-person it's not as big/obnoxious as I thought it would be.

There is nothing wrong with this at all. However check the number of ports that you have or at least do not listen to the person at the store. I have the Mac Book which has ONLY 1 port. So when you plug this in to use it for whatever you want it is great UNTIL you need to charge the computer. You need to buy the other adapter for $69 that has a USB and also a USB-C on it so you can keep using whatever you have plugged in and also charge your computer. So I had to go and buy the other one as a result. Had I looked and not listened to the person I would not have spent the money on this. Not that there is anything wrong with the adapter at all. Check your number of ports first!

I bought a new MacBook Pro 15" and just wanted to plug my iPhone to it to back up the data. I then realized that with all my existing iPhone/iPad adapters and chargers, I still need another adapter since my MacBook Pro only has USB-C type ports and my other Apple devices work with the original USB-A type. This adapter does the trick. Originally, i thought I had bought the wrong one as the USB end of it was very snug and it felt like it would not go in. I did not want to force it and risk damaging it. Once I got confirmation that it was the correct adapter, it works fine, just needed a firm push

With USB-C but no standard USB ports on the newer Macs, this adapter is a necessity. It is essentially required if you want to connect any older USB device to these new machines. The real question is why it isn't just included in the box to begin with. Another needed cable is the USB-C to Lightning cable if you plan on using an iPhone or iPad. Sure, new technology tries to convince you that you will rarely need a corded connection, but it really important to have for the convenience issues that arise. Overall the USB-C to USB adapter and USB to Lightning are the two cables that I have found useful with my new computer that only has USB-C ports.
