To charge your iPhone with your new MacBook Pro, you can follow these steps:
1. Connect your iPhone to your MacBook Pro using a USB to Lightning cable. This cable should have come with your iPhone. One end of the cable has a Lightning connector, which is the one you will plug into your iPhone. The other end has a USB connector, which you will plug into a USB port on your MacBook Pro.
2. Once you have connected the USB to Lightning cable to both your iPhone and MacBook Pro, your iPhone should start charging automatically. You can check the charging status on your iPhone by looking at the battery icon in the top right corner of the screen. It should show a lightning bolt symbol, indicating that it is charging.
3. If your MacBook Pro is equipped with USB-C ports, you can also charge your iPhone using the Apple USB-C to Lightning cable. This cable allows for faster charging speeds on certain iPhone models. Simply connect one end of the cable to your iPhone and the other end to a USB-C port on your MacBook Pro. Again, your iPhone should start charging automatically.
4. If you prefer to charge your iPhone without using your MacBook Pro, you can also connect your iPhone to a power adapter. The power adapter should have come with your iPhone and will have a USB port. Connect the USB to Lightning cable to your iPhone and the other end to the USB port on the power adapter. Then, plug the power adapter into a wall outlet. Your iPhone will start charging.
5. Additionally, if you have an Apple Watch and want to charge it using your MacBook Pro, you can use the Apple Watch charger that came with your device. Simply connect the charger to a USB port on your MacBook Pro, place your Apple Watch on the charger, and it will start charging.
It’s worth noting that some USB-C Power Adapters and the Apple USB-C to Lightning cable are fast-charge compatible with certain iPhone and iPad models. This means that they can charge your device more quickly than traditional charging methods. If you’re interested in fast charging, you can consider using these accessories.
Charging your iPhone with your new MacBook Pro is a simple process. Just connect the USB to Lightning cable or Apple Watch charger to your device and the appropriate port on your MacBook Pro or power adapter. Your device should start charging automatically, and you can monitor the charging status on your device.
