I just looked, but could only find USB-C to male lightning ports. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an adapter or cable with a female lightning port on the end.

Why would you need a female? Does Apple have devices with cables hardwired to them? Usually they just have ports and the cables are interchangeable.

Yes, some accessories have a hard-wired lightning male end (and therefore need a female adapter). The Apple pencil, those alarm clock speaker docks, some flash drives, etc.

The Apple Pencil has a cable attached to it? Why? The Microsoft Surface Pen just charges by being attached magnetically to the side of the Surface.

There’s probably some expensive equipment that did it, but I haven’t seen any consumer grade stuff. Most things are wireless.
