This is not possible.Īpple only includes a regular Lightning to USB cable with its phones still, so you're gonna need a whole new cable to hook up or charge your phone. Congrats! Now, once you get your new MacBook Pro in, you can hook it up and…hold up. So, let's say you bought a shiny, new iPhone 7 Plus last month. Seriously, what are you doing with your life spending $70 on a simple adapter.
If spending that much on a bit of white plastic seems like highway robbery, Amazon has this adapter from Avotech does the same for $30. Why carry around a ton of adapters when you could get away with one? That's the premise of this spendy $70 Apple adapter, one that gives you a USB 3.0 port, an HDMI port, and even a USB-C port so you can charge while you use the adapter. So, you're gonna need something like Apple's digital A/V adapter (below), but if you wanna save a bundle of cash, you can grab a simple adapter like this CableCreation one for only $14. The old MacBook Pros could be connected to multiple monitors thanks to DisplayPort and HDMI. So, of course Amazon has you covered with this Choetech cable that's basically half the price of what Apple's selling. Apple includes a USB-C cable in the box with each MacBook Pro, but if you want to grab a second charger for work, even Apple's charging brick doesn't have a cable in the box. You gotta charge your laptop at some point. This two-pack of adapters gives you twice the ports for only $8.
Remember USB? It seems like it was only yesterday that you could just use your normal peripherals with a laptop from Apple, but…wait…it was only yesterday! If you use a lot of USB devices like keyboards, mice, hubs, or anything, really this is what you need to get started.Īpple's adapter is $19 normally, but you can grab an adapter that's just as good from Amazon for a fraction of the price. Here are the bits and bobs you'll have to carry with you to bring back the functionality Apple took away. If you're like most people, you're going to miss the handy ports the old MacBook Pro offered.
Instead, buyers will have to use adapters and dongles to convert USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 ports into things like HDMI, USB 3, Thunderbolt 2, and even when hooking up your iPhone. So, the big news last week is that Apple gave us new MacBook Pros, but removed the ports that so many depend on.
