The technology giant Apple has stopped the production of the Lightning 3.5 mm Headphone Jack, which was once a popular accessory and used by users. This accessory was designed for iPhone models that do not have a 3.5 mm headphone jack. On Apple’s official website, this product is no longer for sale and has been showing as “out of stock” for a while.
The Lightning 3.5 mm Headphone Jack allowed iPhones without a headphone jack to connect to devices such as headphones, speakers, car audio systems and airplane entertainment systems. However, with Apple replacing the Lightning port on iPhones with USB-C, it seems that the use of this accessory has come to an end.
WHEN ARE YOU IN?
According to Dünya Newspaper, this adapter was first released with the iPhone 7 in 2016. At that time, Apple decided to remove the 3.5 mm headphone jack, and this change created a great controversy. However, the Lightning 3.5mm Headphone Jack allowed users to use their old headphones with their new iPhone.
This adapter has been widely used for years on models from iPhone 7 to iPhone XS. However, with the iPhone 15 released in 2023, Apple gradually phased out the Lightning converter by switching to the USB-C port on iPhones.

The 3.5 mm jack for some time now, and while they have made strides in promoting USB-C, they could definitely enhance their support for users who are still reliant on older technology. Providing adapters or creating a transition period where both technologies are offered could ease some of the frustration consumers are feeling.
World-today-news.com Editor: Good morning everyone! Today we have two distinguished guests with us to discuss the recent news about Apple discontinuing the production of its Lightning 3.5 mm Headphone Jack. To our left, we have Ms. Sarah Smith, a tech journalist, and on the right, Mr. Tom Johnson, an Apple user and consumer.
Firstly, Ms. Smith, as a tech journalist, what is your perspective on this move by Apple to discontinue the production of the Lightning 3.5 mm Headphone Jack? Do you think it’s a strategic business decision, or is there something more to it?
Sarah Smith: Well, as a tech journalist, I can say that Apple has always been known for its innovation and pushing boundaries. With the evolution of technology, it was only a matter of time before they switched to USB-C for their latest iPhones. The removal of the 3.5 mm headphone jack was a controversial decision back in 2016, but it was a step in the right direction. The benefits of USB-C are quite apparent, including faster data transfer, better video output, and versatility. However, the company could have handled the transition better by not only removing the jack but also including a USB-C to 3.5 mm adapter with the purchase of new iPhones.
World-today-news.com Editor: That’s an interesting point, Ms. Smith. Mr. Johnson, as an Apple user, how do you feel about this move?
Tom Johnson: Personally, I was a bit surprised by the news. I still use the Lightning 3.5 mm Headphone Jack adapter with my iPhone 12 Pro Max, and it’s been quite useful. I understand the benefits of USB-C, but it’s not fair to ask consumers to replace all their accessories just because Apple wants to switch to new technology. I wish they would have provided a better solution for users who still rely on the 3.5 mm jack.
World-today-news.com Editor: That’s a valid concern, Mr. Johnson. Ms. Smith, do you think Apple is doing enough to support users who are not ready to switch to USB-C?
Sarah Smith: Well, I think Apple has been gradually phasing out
