There is a female to female Lightning adapter but that is for use with a USB wall charger cable. I do not believe Apple makes a male to male or male to female Lightning cable that could be used to connect the iPad to the Pencil.
How does a female to female Lightning cable attach to a USB wall charger? How would a male-to- male Lighting cable connect a Pencil to an iPad?
Got any links, because neither of these, if they exist, make any sense to me.
A male-to female cable makes sense, to extend a Lightning cable, I guess, if you didn't want to just by a longer cable.
I seriously doubt that Apple would include a Lightning to 3.5mm jack adapter. It makes no business sense. Include Lightning headphones. Sell an adapter for $30. Done.
LIke buying an external floppy disk reader or optical disk, if people want to use their Shure or Senns with a Lighting iPhone, they'll buy an adapter. If Apple makes one to sell (like the USB-C and other dongles) they better make sure it works well. The only way Apple will include one is if the EU demands it.

Good point, you can't get a lightning to lightning cable, can you? I wonder if one of them might be on the way if Macs end up getting lightning ports (for headphones).
But yes, sorry, my mistake.
Yes. I expect Macs to add and/or replace the headphone jacks on Macs as soon as the iPhone drops it. It makes sense on a number of levels.
also, Beats makes certain models of headphones with two 3.5mm jacks for pas through audio and sharing. I expect digital headphones to have one USBc and one Lightning for this same purpose. That way a USBc to lightning cable connects them to the Mac, while another cable connects them to a daisy chained user, or a charger.
I could even even see Apple adding a Ligjtning jack to their chargers as well, allowing headphones to be plugged into a wall charger to charge and listen while the USBc port charges the Mac or iPhone, and passes the signal.

so many options.
