USB of all trades (updated)

Two nice additions since the original post on USB converters. The Type-C male to A-female will likely be more and more in use, as host ports migrate from A to C. There will be tons of accessories with male A plugs and this one makes them all compatible. The second one is the Type-C female to B-micro male: yes it converts a Type-C cable into and old micro-B variant. Anyway with this set a single C-C cable is capable of connecting anything to anything.
  1. Micro-B-female to mini-B male. There are still devices using mini-B female sockets...
  2. Male-A to female C. Makes an old laptop compatible with new Type-C devices.
  3. Male-C to female A. Does the opposite: new laptops (or phones) and an old accessory.
  4. Micro-B to lightning. Makes i-devices compatible with USB.
  5. Micro-B to Apple 30-pin. Makes old i-devices compatible with USB. 
  6. Apple pencil. This is the weirdest one, but yes it is useful when you want to use a cable to charge the pencil.
  7. Female Type-C to micro-B. Use a Type-C cable to charge (or connect to) a micro-USB accessory.
  8. The opposite of the above. Transforms a micro-USB charger into a Type-C one.
A basic set can be composed of just four of them: 2, 3, 4 and 7. And a C-C cable.
