Is there an adapter that makes a Lightning Connector to a 3.55 mm?

Is there an adapter that makes a Lightning Connector to a 3.55 mm?

I have EarPods that have the Lightning Connector but I also have a laptop that uses 3.55mm and I was wondering if there was a dongle that I could purchase.

No, it’s not possible to go from a Lightning plug to a 3.5mm jack. The reason is that there are 4 microcircuits in the lightning plug that need power, and a 3.5mm jack cannot supply power. There are adapters that go the other way, but the process is not reversible.
