If I understand correctly the Taycan only has USB C ports ( In the front and back), what are people using to connect and charge their iPhones? i See you can get a small adapter to convert to conventional usb or you can get usb c to lightning cables too. What is everyone using?

thanks

You're going to be a lot happier with a cable. Even a small adapter tends to add quite a bit to the inflexible part of the cable.

I'm moving to lots of USB-C cables anyway, so I'll toss in a few USB-C to Lightning in my next order.

Thanks, I think I will order some of each, the cable is probably the best way but the kids will want to charge some other random stuff I expect

USB-A can't go away fast enough. Low power and data capacity, further hobbled by a large connector that can only go in "right side up". In my experience, USB-A cables also generally have worse strain relief than C and wear out much faster.

I ordered these adapters last week and they just arrived. Tested on my MacBook pro with both charging a phone and a flash drive, works great. Two for $10 seems reasonable for a well made cable.

Uni USB- C to USB Adapter.
