Alternative for USB port to connect iPhone to MBP 2015

[Andrey84]

Hello,

My 2015 MacBook Pro works great, but both USB ports have been overused and are too wide.
I'm doing a training course to build an iOS app, and I strongly prefer a wired connection from MBP to the phone.
The connection is very unstable and XCode loses the iPhone as a device to deploy to very frequently. This causes errors and all sorts of problems.

Is there a way to connect iPhone to MBP via Thunderbolt 2 for data transfer purposes?
I've trawled Amazon and there is not a single TB2 to Lightning cable.
Also, maybe there are other alternatives on how to connect?
Any advice is very welcome.

You'd need to a get a thunderbolt to usb converter of some sort, and I would imagine such things outside thunderbolt docks are probably not very common. There definitely won't be a direct thunderbolt to lightning cable, as this would make zero economical sense to develop or produce.

It's quite expensive, will try and get it cheaper on eBay. Cheapest is around £45.

In the meantime, if anyone has any other ideas, please let me know.
