The new Macbook has a single usb-c port and people asked the same question, “How do I charge and use USB at the same time.” There are now dozens of solutions available for the Macbook and so it will be with the iPhone 7. An adapter with a 3.5mm jack and a Lightening charging port would be my guess. Kickstarter entrepreneurs are probably already working on it.

We have several Bluetooth ear devices but the only work if you remember to charge (one more thing to do).The plug ins are cheap, never require charging, and some have terrific qualities (including noise reduction). Oh yeah, now we can use them --- with the dongle --- and when that gets lost Apple will sell another to you (if you have access to a store). My 14 yo has been trying for three years to get us to stop being ripped off and join the android world. I think the time has come -- it's bad enough that Apple's prices are exorbitant, but to now require more accessories and then accusing dissidents of lacking "courage." Hurmpphh! I never owned a Mac after being offended by Apple ads in the old days (Jobs approach - good but overpriced products, and then insulting you for not buying them). Well, I have found my courage, and after six iphones, two ipads, and a nano, our family is moving on.
