Apple discontinues popular accessory many people need

Apple appears to have quietly discontinued a popular accessory that was once essential for some iPhone users.

3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter

The 3.5mm Lightning to Headphone Jack Adapter has been sold out on both the UK and US Apple websites for some time now.

The device allowed users to connect iPhones without a headphone jack to a wide range of devices, including wired headphones, speakers, car audio systems and airplane entertainment.

As Apple shifts away from its proprietary Lightning port in favor of USB-C, this once-common and necessary accessory may be gone for good. 

The phase-out of the Lightning connector has been gradual, with the iPhone 15 marking the official shift to USB-C in 2023.
