Headphone Jack iRig etc.

Apple Communities iRig Headphone Jack

Really can't squeeze any more life out of this iPhone 6S but rely on the headphone jack for iRig instrument and MIDI interfaces. Has anyone found a reliable adapter/splitter that allows charging while using the iRig that requires a headphone jack? iRig manufacturer suggested asking Apple but they didn't have any solution.

Apple made a dock that I'd resentfully have to buy 2 of (home and studio), and/or carry around till I eventually lose them. But It's marked as no longer available.

Bluetooth headphones are not an option because latency makes them unusable for musical instruments (even my AirPod Pro's have too much latency).

I'd also need to use Point Of Sale credit card readers (Square) that plug into headphone jacks.

:: sigh :: I'd give up a few hours of battery life, or processor speed, or many other things just to have a headphone jack.

TIA for any guidance.

According to the iRig manufacturer many don't necessarily do both (passing the signal and charging properly) if at all.

I was hoping to hear if someone had good experience with a specific one rather than testing "hundreds" :)

thank you for your time.

I do appreciate your time, Kurtosis12. Thanks again.

I'm hoping someone can mention one specifically that has worked for them. As you say, there are hundreds of them. If I can avoid contacting that many users or manufacturers I'd be happy.
