Quick answer: A USB-C connection can support charging, data transfer, or both. On an iPhone 18 Pro Max copy, verify what the actual device supports before buying cables or planning computer backups.
Test the connection
- Connect the phone to a compatible computer.
- Check whether the phone is detected.
- Try copying a photo or document.
- Disconnect and reconnect.
- Test the same cable for charging.
Why charging does not prove data support
A cable can power a phone without providing the data pathway you need. The port, cable and software must work together.
