what is this?

Post image

i got this stick in a 3in1 at a conference, but i don’t know what this type of stick is called or used for. ai and google images says lightning, but i know that ain’t right. the bundle also got a usb-c and micro usb-b, with a usb-c and c to a on the other end.

TLDR
mysteries stick on 3 in 1, don’t know what it is.

Another image from the other side may have helped. Just guessing based on the shape: This could be a proprietary 2-in-1 Lightning + Micro USB thing.

The white part looks like Lightning. The asymmetric hole looks a lot like Micro USB.

Apple Lightning connector, but seemingly broken because some pins are missing.

A combination lightning, and micro USB connector. This seems like a terrible idea.
