My latest iPhone came with the Lightning to USB-C charger cable & wall plug. It's coming along, just slow like usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrySTL ★ Posted June 23, 2020 Share #3 Posted June 23, 2020 USB-C is easy to figure out. You can plug it in either way. It's like two-sided clipless pedals. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to figure out the USB-C. You need to get an adapter to handle earlier USB and HDMI devices. Those things can run you $80 or more. I''d just buck up and get a docking station. You won't regret it. Anker is also who you probably want to go with. https://www.anker.com/products/114/714/docking-stations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the one that has the "USB-C doodad that has a USB-C to "regular" adapter attached". It replaces a larger docking station that had the old style connection in the laptop base. Looks like one HDMI and two DisplayPorts, plus one USB-C, four USB-A, and network connector. I guess I need a DisplayPort cable for one of my work monitor - although I think I have an HDMI to DisplayPort adapter in a drawer at work, so I should be good once we are back in the office.

And it's rarely backwards compatible so it always costs you money. I'd like to blame apple for this but they are just one of many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
