Is This The iPhone 7 Lighting To 3.5MM Headphone Adapter ?


New photos and a video showcase a Lightning to 3.5 mm adapter which has previously been rumored as an accessory for the iPhone 7 as a way to assuage users of the smartphone's long-rumored removal of the 3.5 mm headphone jack. The adapter in today's photos was reportedly obtained from a Foxconn factory in Vietnam (via Tinhte.vn) (Google Translator is a thing) and the report's author believes it could be a genuine Apple adapter.  When the Lightning to 3.5 mm adapter is plugged into a device running iOS 9 or lower, the software displays an incompatibility message to the user, but when used on devices with a beta of iOS 10 installed, the dongle appears to work without any issues. The author also notes that if headphones are plugged into both the standard headphone jack on a current iPhone and the adapter connected to Lightning, priority is given to the Lightning port for audio output. This adapter could very well be a third party accessory, but we won’t know that for sure until September. What do you think ? What do you think of Apple removing the headphone jack ? Personally I think its kinda dumb just to make the phone a little lighter.
