Apple charges as much as $1,500 for its 2018 iPhone models and it also enjoys the highest profit margin in the smartphone industry… by a lot. Needless to say, that means it can no longer afford to include a 3.5mm to Lightning adapter with each iPhone. After all, that little adapter probably costs Apple all of $0.25 per unit. If you have a new iPhone XS or XR and you want to use wired headphones, pick up a Chooby Headphone Adapter. It’s just like the one Apple used to include with its iPhones, but it also has a separate Lightning port so you can charge your phone while you listen to music.
