Connecting your Mac, iPad or iPhone to an HDMI monitor is easy as plugging the HyperDrive Next USB-C to HDMI 4K60Hz Cable into both devices.
The affordable adapter with a built-in 8-foot cable reached store shelves Tuesday.
Hyper’s USB-C HDMI adapter/cable is plug-and-play
No one like hassling with adapters, but they’re a lifesaver when your computer doesn’t have the port needed to connect to an accessory you want to use. And there are plenty of Apple computers without HDMI ports.
Hyper makes hooking up to these external displays about as simple as it can be because its adapter is also the only cable you’ll probably need.

Aside from the typical business uses, the adapter/cable can be used to quickly hook an iPad or iPhone 15 to a large display for watching movies.
A glance at the product name tells you the specs you have to know: HyperDrive Next USB-C to HDMI 4K60Hz Cable. 4K at 60Hz is offers a good-quality connection, and realistically is all that typical users need. Professional video creators require more, of course.
The product comes in white to match Apple’s own cables, is covered in silicone, and Hyper says it’s designed to survive 25,000+ bends.
