Apple has added two USB Type-C to Lightning cables to its online store. The cables could potentially shed some light on the company's upcoming Maclineup. According to Apple, the USB Type-C cables will allow users to connect their iPhones, iPads or iPods with Lightning connectors to a computer's USB Type-C port in order to sync data as well charge the connected device. Up until now, users of Apple's tiny 12-inch MacBook had no choice but to purchase an adapter to connect their two expensive devices.

The USB Type-C to Lightning cables are priced at $25 (Rs. 2,300 in India) for 1m length, and $35 (Rs. 2,900 in India) for 2m. Additionally, Apple says that one can also use the cable with an Apple 29W USB-C Power Adapter ($49 in the US, or Rs. 4,100 in India) to leverage the fast charging feature of the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. Note that the 12.9-inch iPad Pro supports fast charging and USB 3.0 transfer speeds, the 9.7-inch iPad Pro supports only USB 2.0 speeds.
