Now it looks like that adapter is being retired.<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2024\/11\/17\/lightning-to-headphone-jack-adapter-sold-out\/\">MacRumors<\/a> first noted, the adapter is showing as sold out in most regions, along with a few other Lightning accessories, like the even-more-archaic-seeming Lightning-to-VGA adapter. That includes the United States, where it is not possible to order the headphone adapter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/shop\/product\/MMX62AM\/A\/lightning-to-35-mm-headphone-jack-adapter?fnode=22abdf86aec87ad4299295d2f2f0204cb9d05c37dc6d76a23984321beed8a33397686a276767cbbaad263982412d5902a356939b5fbfda8b383b1f4b5347c838db921decff7658c2da1964557c8ac813ac09073be099b6e32d91e3795ff45329\">from Apple&#8217;s store<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Inventory has run out, and it seems unlikely Apple will make more to refill it.<\/p>\n<p>This is likely part of a general phasing out of products related to the proprietary Lightning port, which was used in many Apple devices (including the iPhone) for years but has been replaced by USB-C in all of the company&#8217;s major products. A couple of older iPhone models offered at cheaper prices\u2014the iPhone SE and the iPhone 14\u2014are available today, but they will likely be replaced in just a couple of months.<\/p>\n<p>Apple is selling a similar adapter for connecting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/shop\/product\/MW2Q3AM\/A\/usb-c-to-35-mm-headphone-jack-adapter?fnode=9016770b6d9fb8cda9601c9018da96ecc7bc764c9568934e5c2dcb63279021050b861a2d887e2cd5ce8b6ef8ee5125db2b6e3d0249591939fa07e905c7def93a080e728a728bca6051c90f7280db5d80dee525252e3f83cccc9fab1fe7523401\">3.5 mm headphones to USB-C<\/a> iPhones and iPads.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, many people out there still have older Lightning iPhones but haven&#8217;t yet made the jump to wireless headphones. Third-party options are out there that they can use\u2014at least for now\u2014but the popular Apple adapter seems to be following a similar script as other deprecated Apple accessories have upon their retirement.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2024\/11\/apples-headphone-adapter-for-older-iphones-sells-out-possibly-never-to-return\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Apple infamously ditched the headphone jack with the launch of the iPhone 7, it at least provided customers with a Lightning-to-3.5 mm adapter either right in the box or &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=127473\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8630],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-127473","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technology","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127473","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=127473"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127473\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=127473"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=127473"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=127473"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
