I love my new iPhone XS as much as anyone else, but it’s frankly disgusting that Apple decided not to include a Lightning to 3.5mm audio adapter with its new phones. Seriously, what’s Apple’s cost per adapter at volume? $0.25? $0.50? These new iPhones cost over $1,000! Of course, renting and raving won’t change the fact that if you want to use wired 3.5mm headphones with your new iPhone, you’ll need to buy an adapter. The Chooby Lightning Jack Headphone Adapter is just $12 on Amazon, and it’s actually better than the old adapter Apple used to include in the box because it also has a Lightning port so you can charge while you listen to music.
