no that’s lightning. thunderbolt is usbc+a much more complex interface that extends the pci bus
Scooter123:
Ah, I stand corrected. I guess I have a lightening.
Which makes me wonder whether Apple has a $138 USB C to lightening connector.

RyanJ:
I don't cheap out on charging cables anymore. There was a time I would buy these knock off cables and some would work, others not. In the end I was paying as much as if I were to buy from Apple or someone else. At least I know they would work with my devices.
Sebastian:
But it sounds way better than your average cable off Amazon!
