Though it was a big story at the time, slowly but surely, everyone simply adjusted to the change.Īpple no doubt hoped the same adjustment would follow when the 3.5mm jack left the iPhone altogether with the iPhone 7 in September 2016. To help ease the pain for consumers with wired headphones, Apple provided a little Lightning to 3.5mm adapter in the box, tooīut more recent versions of the iPhone have not only ditched the adapter but also omitted bundled EarPods and even a charger – iPhone 12 and 13 models come with just a USB-C to Lightning cable. When Apple quietly killed off the iPod Classic in September 2014, it took with it the last Apple device using the company’s 30-pin connector.
Apple released an adapter that allowed you still to use your 30-pin device, but only with a Lightning dock or speaker. The Lightning port's introduction meant the industry had to adapt overnight, most notably by releasing new speaker docks and accessories to accommodate the smaller connection.
The Lightning port was first introduced with the iPhone 5 back in September 2012, replacing the 30-pin connector that had been used for charging on every previous iPhone and iPod – but its inclusion didn't do away with the 3.5mm jack for your headphones entirely.
