Customers are saying

Customers highly value the Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter's compatibility with Apple monitors and its ability to connect older Thunderbolt 2 devices to newer Macs. They also appreciate its ease of use and reliable data transfer capabilities, noting its seamless performance. However, some customers find the adapter's price to be a significant drawback. The size of the adapter is also a point of contention for a few users.

    Works as advertised. Forgot mine at home and had to rush out to get one to plug my laptop into one of the Thunderbolt monitors at the office. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is the price. The margins on this thing have got to be through the roof. Should be able to sell it for less than that.

    I still use Firewire on some legacy audio gear. I already owned a Thunderbolt 2 adapter that gets me to Firewire, but needed the Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter to work with my new iMac. It worked the first time, so I'm satisfied. The cost of the $50 adapter is a little on the high side ($30 would have been better), but it works with no issues.

    Works great for connecting my 2017 MacBook Pro to my Apple Thunderbolt 27 inch Display. My only complaint is that it does not work with my HP Laptop and I had to purchase a separate adapter to get it to work.

    Connects 2018 MacBook to thunderbolt display

    Enabled me get my new MacBook Pro connected to older Thunderbolt Display. Ethernet, USB, and audio also passthough which saved me having to buy a separate docking station. However separate power is still needed which takes up another port on the MacBook. Although it works great, I wish it was cheaper.

    Apple is constantly changing connection types which is inevitable, but frustrating too. I had to purchase this adapter to run my older 2nd cinema display monitor linked to my new iMac. My only complaint is the hefty $55 price tag for this litte thing. 3rd party options are available online but not in the store, so shop wisely.

    I needed this to be able to go back and forth from the new Macbook to the previous Macbook...It serves the purpose and gets the job done. I wanted the "Apple" version for the "make sure it works" moment.

    I bought a Thunderbolt display here at Best Buy a few years ago, and now that I have a Thunderbolt 3 (only) computer, I needed an adapter to make the monitor work. This is it.
