Apple's Pricey New iPhones Won't Come With a Headphone Dongle in the Box

Apple's freshly appear iPhone line-upwards, the iPhone XR, iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max, bring a host of new features to the tabular array such as a faster processor, amend imaging capabilities, dual-SIM facility and of course, a bevy of vibrant color options. But one prominent feature they all miss is the 3.5mm headphone jack, and before you go all defensive for Apple and say that the bundled headphone dongle will suffice for it, you are in for some disappointment.

Apple will Not send a Lightning to 3.five mm headphone jack adapter with the new iPhone models, because well, it is Apple. Apple was generous plenty to transport a headphone dongle with the iPhone 10, the iPhone viii duo as well as the iPhone 7 pair, all of which courageously ditched the three.5mm headphone jack, but unfortunately, you won't find an adapter in the retail box of the new iPhone trip.

The new line-up of iPhones is the most expensive ever, and while Apple has done a commendable job keeping the base cost same for the new iPhones, the tiptop-end model almost nudges the $1,500 mark. For a smartphone that will shave off $1,500 from your business relationship, buyers almost definitely desire some goodies in their box, allow lone missing out on some actually essential ones like a headphone dongle.

Only look at the retail box of the Galaxy Annotation nine, which packs in accessories such equally a USB Type-C to Blazon-A adapter, AKG-tuned earphones, replacement earbuds and extra S-Pen tips. But if yous are lined to buy any of the new iPhone models but can't part ways with your loftier-terminate headphones with a 3.5mm cable, fret non, because Apple will continue to sell the Lightning to iii.5 mm headphone jack adapter from its official website and retail outlets priced at $9.

The dongle'south asking cost of $9 is non much for a person who is shelling out over a grand dollars for a new iPhone, but and so, what about buyers who expect at least an extra goodie, especially an essential one, for their expensive purchase.
