Lightning to USBC adapter
Hi all,
I have a Xpand flash drive, one end is an ordinary USB to plug in to say a laptop and the other end is lightning. Does anyone know if one exists?

The majority (if not all) third party USB-C to Lightning Adapters only support charging from a connected USB Power Adapter; they do not support data or connection of Lightning accessories.
The recently released Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter is the only commercially available Adapter that to support connection of the majority of Lightning accessories to iPad models and iPhone15 that feature USB-C.

My experience is that for adapters, "cheap" is generally synonymous with "does not work". You're better off buying a good one right from the beginning and saving yourself the hassle of finding cheaper ones, returning them, and repurchasing.
Excuse me, I have bought this adapter and wanted to connect my lightning EarPods with my laptop (Dell Inspiron 5570 with USB-C 3.1 Gen 1), but it showed error driver and could not connect, so do you have any solutions to this issue (by the way my iPad Pro connects properly)

The Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter is intended to allow connection of devices with Lightning connector to connect to Apple devices that have a USB-C port.
This adapter is not intended to connect devices with Lightning connector to a Windows PC. While it may be technically possible, you would need to find and install a suitable third-party device driver for your PC.
I asked this because I didn’t find out any drivers which are officially supported for this adapter or the EarPods by Apple or other manufacturers; I don’t know if that supports MacBooks or not because I don’t have that, but when I tested it with Android, it connects perfectly like the iPad; maybe I have to wait for Windows or Apple updated the driver for that quickly ‘cause I intended to use that with my laptop. And if you have solutions with this, please inform me that, I appreciate it, thank you.
Thank you. I’ve been looking for one for ages and couldn’t find anything. It seems Apple have just brought it out if I’m reading it correctly.
That would be correct.
Anyone know of less expensive ones that work? I bought some from Amazon and returned them.
For me I only use it for charging the new iPhone.
