Apple Discontinues Lightning to Headphone Jack Adapter Amid Sellout

Apple's Lightning-to-3.5 mm headphone adapter, introduced when the iPhone 7 eliminated the headphone jack, is reportedly being phased out as it sells out in most regions, including the U.S. This move aligns with Apple's shift from the proprietary Lightning port to USB-C across its major products. While older iPhone models still use Lightning, Apple now offers a USB-C version of the adapter for newer devices. Third-party alternatives remain available for those with older iPhones who haven't switched to wireless headphones.
