Is the M11/11P supplied cable still Lightning?

If you buy an M11 series camera today, are they still including the Lightning cable for iPhones even though iPhones are no longer using Lightning?

No.  I have a USB3 to USB3 cable that came with a recently purchased SL3, and no Lightning cables in sight, although I do have an M11-P.  If you are asking because you need a Lightning cable, you'll need to find it elsewhere.

Just received an end March 2024 dated M11M, came with a lightening cable.

Likewise both my recently purchased M11-P and M11 Mono came with the lightning cable.

I was curious, as they made much of the special Apple approved cable but don’t seem to have kept up with the change Apple made to cease using Lightning.

My m11P purchased in March 2024 came with a lightning cable.  Surprised because my iPad Pro I purchased last year is USB C.  NBD, I just use the cable that came with the iPad, the lightning one never left the Leica box.

the firmware and software FOTOS app only works with the lighting cable,

apple cable are all USB-C 2.0, slow.

You can buy the USB-C to lightning adapter and use the old cable with new iPhone. But why would you? it is slow, just use 5ghz wifi.

The M11 does not work with the USB-C cable of the SL3 and iPhone iPad and FOTOS app, looks like every generation camera has different software and hardware.

the blame goes mostly to the FOTOS app that only supports apple MFi.

If you use any other app, you can use any USB cable in PTP connection and it works.

My April 19, 2024 M11-P did not come with a iPhone-Fotos USB-C to lighting cable. Not a big deal, my iPhone 15 Pro Max uses USB-C. I connect to the Fotos app using Wi-Fi and bluetooth. I always transfer photo files the old fashioned way with the SD card to my Mac with a card reader.

I use the cable that came with my iPhone 15 pro max to connect my M11 to my iPad pro M3 and my iPad mini just fine - the cable that came with both iPads also work. For a few week the Fotos app would use wifi to my new iPad but it magically started working

Does the M11-P no longer ship with a USB-C cable? 

I just bought one and don’t recall seeing a USB-C cable; but I have seen a USB-C to USB-C cable in an unboxing video.

Unless I missed it and it’s still in the box (which I left at another home), I only have the USB-A to C cable.

I was hoping they would include the nicely braided USB C to C cable that I saw at the Leica Store…
