Which connectors fit my phone?

To choose the right mobile phone charging cable, you need to know what connections your smartphone and the device to be connected have. Mobile phone connections are: the Lightning connector for iPhones, the new USB-C standard or its predecessor Micro-USB for Android mobile phones.
