I'm dan Aykroyd and we're going to show you how to connect your iPhone or other iOS device to Apple's new 12-inch MacBook shortly after I wrote the review this 12-inch MacBook I got to read your email asking how one would connect an iPhone or an iPad or other iOS device to it because this system only has one port on it it's a USB type-c port which is different than a standard USB plug and of course your your iPhone or iPad comes with a Lightning to standard USB cable and obviously these are not going to work together so I said it should work let's find out what we need to do first thing I did was I got the Apple standard USB C 2 USB adapter cable they're happy to sell you this for about 20 bucks and I plug that in over here then I went and got the lightning cable from my phone so lightning on one end USB male plug on the other end and I daisy chain them together over here and then finally I connected my iPhone to it and of course it immediately bumped life I can feel the iPhone vibrating right now and it's going to call up iPhoto and and iTunes you can see it preparing to sync my phone right here and of course the phone is charging at the same time so it takes a couple of extra steps you have two days between two tables together I'm sure someone at some point soon will make a lightning to USB C cable but for right now this is the extra stuff you have to go to I'm Dan Ackerman and that is how to connect your iOS device to Apple's new 12 inch MacBook
