What was the first Apple product to use a USB-C connector?

The story behind the answer

The 2015 MacBook was the first Apple product to use a USB-C connector.

Apple introduced the redesigned 12-inch MacBook in March 2015 and released it on April 10. Its single physical port was USB-C, a then-new reversible connector that handled charging, data transfer, and video output through one compact connection.

The design was notable because Apple removed the familiar MagSafe charging port and conventional USB-A ports. Users who needed older peripherals generally required an adapter. The laptop also used a fanless Intel Core M processor, a high-resolution Retina display, and a very thin chassis.

Later Apple products adopted USB-C, including MacBook Pro models from 2016 and iPad Pro models from 2018. Those products are often remembered because USB-C became more prominent across Apple's lineup, but they came after the 2015 MacBook.
