My lightning to 3.5mm adapter is not working
I purchased an Apple adapter ligthning to 3.5mm jack from Apple in March 2021 and I am surprised it is not working anymore after just 6 months this September 2021.
I haven't used it very much and it still looks as new but it is obviously defect as sounds does not come properly through anymore (see photo below) and I have tried with different working headphones.
Obviously this Apple adapter and its cable is very thin but I am very surprised to find out it appears worn out so soon and after so little use. One may obviously expect such Apple accessories to last a minimum through time and use.
I am wondering if I can get replacement from Apple and then how? The Apple support pages do not seem to cover accessories unfortunately. Any advice appreciated.
Best regards,
