Like they said, they keep a Lightning cable in their car. They didn't say that it's a USB-A to Lightning cable. I own USB-C power banks and so forth, and use a USB-C to Lightning cable to plug my iPhone into them.

Are you, uh, powering a desk fan off your phone?

In a pinch you grab what you can, and if what you need is USB-C, you have a lot more options.

No, but I power it with a USB-C cable.

And with a phone having USB-C I can just use the same to power my phone when I want. Or power my phone from a powerbank without another cable specially made for this brand of phone.
