Your company issues smartphones to staff for email, calls, and remote access. One user with a company-issued iPhone 13 says they have misplaced the charging cable and need a replacement before traveling. Which cable type should you provide to ensure the phone can charge and sync?
The iPhone 13 charges and synchronizes through Apple's proprietary Lightning connector, so providing a Lightning cable will allow the user to power and connect the device. Newer Apple phones such as the iPhone 15 have switched to USB-C, but earlier iPhone models-including the iPhone 13 in this scenario-still rely on Lightning. USB-C, micro-USB, and Thunderbolt are not appropriate for this specific handset.
