About this product
He Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter lets you connect Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 devices — such as external hard drives and Thunderbolt docks — to any of the Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports on your MacBook Pro. As a bidirectional adapter, it can also connect new Thunderbolt 3 devices to a Mac with a Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 port and macOS Sierra.
In addition, it can be used to connect Thunderbolt-enabled displays — such as the Apple Thunderbolt Display and LG Thunderbolt 2 displays — to any of the Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports on your MacBook Pro. However, using this adapter with an Apple Thunderbolt Display requires a power source, because the display does not provide power through the adapter.

Astonished such a specialised item was in stock!
Astonished that Argos supplied such a specialised item and even more astonished but also delighted that they had it in stock at my local Argos store. Saved so much time and let me get on with setting up my new MacBook without having to wait for a delivery

Contact apple before buying.
These things are great. But don’t do what I did and purchased before researching how it works and where it can be used. Do your homework.

Proper Apple cable as advertised
Good quality Apple product. Picked up from local Sainsbury’s which was a bonus.

Functions as intended
Got an old Thunderbolt 2 drive I was looking to plug into a new Mac mini, USB C/TB3, and worked with no issues.

Hi Robmpl,
The Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter lets you connect Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 devices — such as external hard drives and Thunderbolt docks — to any of the Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) / USB 4 ports on your Mac.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hi Jim,
The Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter connects a Mac that has a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) port to a device that uses a Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 cable.
This adapter is not compatible with USB-C ports that don't support Thunderbolt 3, such as USB-C hubs or the USB-C port on MacBook models from 2015 or later.
You can also use the Thunderbolt port of this adapter to connect an external hard drive, dock, Mac or other device that uses a Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 cable for data transfer. This adapter supports data-transfer speeds up to 10Gbps with Thunderbolt devices, and up to 20Gbps with Thunderbolt 2 devices.
Thanks for using Argos Q&A

Hi,
No, IF your iPad Pro has Thunderbolt3 USB Type-C connector, this il enable you to use Thunderbolt2 peripherals
If your iPad has a Thunderbolt3 USB type-C connector and carries DisplayPort (or HDMI) over USB-TypeC then you may use an adaptor like:

Thank you for using Argos Q&A
HI JP,
This will enable you to connect Thunderbolt 2 devices via a Thunderbolt 3 connection (while very cood compatibility is not however guaranteed as it may vary by device)
If you are using further adapters (like TB2 to Firewire) to connect peripherals I cannot guarantee compatibility although they may work.
Thank you for using Argos Q&A
Hi Mook,
As you have not advised which DV cam or Macbook you have I am unable to give a specific reply.
As long as your Macbook has a ThunderBolt 3 connector and your DV cam uses ThunderBolt 2 as data transfer this should work as long as your DV cam supports and is supported by macOS.
Thank you for using Argos Q&A
HI Bill, this won't do what you want. You need the "Apple Lightning Digital AV Adapter" (search Argos for 742/2650) and a separate HDMI cable. Thanks for using Argos Q + A.
Hi Bill,
To connect with a wire, purchase an Apple Lightning to HDMI adapter and connect an HDMI cable to your TV and the adapter, then the lighting end to your phone.
Hope this helps
Thank you for using Argos Q&A.
Hi Chris, this won't work for connecting to a TV. You'll need the "Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter" (Argos code 621/8391) as well as an HDMI cable. Thanks for using Argos Q + A.
