- The year the headphone jack was killed on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. We all knew it was about to happen from the countless leaks, and happen it did. Apple announced the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus with just a lightning port and included a pair of lightning EarPods with them.
Throwing in a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter should not fulfill the company’s responsibilities, but that’s not even the worst part, to be honest. The worst part is that the alternatives these companies are offering are either expensive, terrible or both. I’ve tried quite a number of USB-C earphones, and while you can get a decent pair, they’ll be too costly to justify being just decent.
