iPhone Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack

As iPhones become smaller and smaller, we will eventually loose the auxiliary port to the Lightning and MFi standard. This change will enable Apple to require headphone vendors to comply to their MFi standard and pay licensing fees on the lightning adapters.

Hopefully, Apple will also produce lightning to 3.5 mm headphone converters to allow people to use their old headphones. In the worst case, people can use bluetooth to aux converters to avoid being bound to apple licensed products.

  1. Hm.. Did you mean iPhones are getting thinner, not “smaller”? Because the iPhone are getting larger every year with the display size race. Also, why not just purchase headphones that are new and work with Apple products? Apple is for consumer electronics now is what Google is for Search. Sometimes it is good to let go of old and try new things.
