Welcome to the new world where iPhone and androids finally share the same cord. Time to be out with the old lightning. After having the lightning cord since the iPhone 5. Since revealing the lightning cord back in 2012, with the release of the iPhone 15 they transitioned to the type C cord.

Now that everyone with an iPhone has an abundance of lightning cords of course it wont even fit in your new iPhone. After unboxing your brand new iPhone you come to realize that not only do they not include the charging block for your cable and it's the new type c cord. For those still using the original usb blocks its time to finally revamp and get a higher voltage and faster output type c block. The time to charge a device with a type c block is 3x faster as opposed to a original USB C block.

For many people this actually is much more convenient. If anyone in the household is currently using an android they have been using this cord for a very long time. Not only androids but also the macbooks, ipads, many headphones, and also many other electronics. This makes it convenient 

Finally the ability to connect to external displays. For those of us who like the ability to share what we are viewing on a monitor or tv  have the  ability to do so, which is something you could not do on the older iPhone without airplay.Connecting your iPhone to an external display opens up a world of convenience and enjoyment right at your fingertips. Imagine streaming your favorite shows or movies on a bigger screen for that at-home theater feel or using it to share photos and videos with family and friends without everyone huddling around a small phone. If you’re a gamer, you can take your mobile games to the next level, enjoying them on a larger screen with more detail and excitement. For work or study, you can easily project presentations, documents, or video calls onto a bigger display, making it easier to focus, multitask, or collaborate. It’s perfect for anyone who wants the power and portability of an iPhone but also wants the flexibility of a larger screen for those moments when a phone screen just isn’t quite enough.

To make the transition to the new  type c cord we have a great deal to help you.
