I just got an iPhone 13 and I love using wired earbuds. I have a brand new pair of lightning wired earbuds and they don't work on my phone. Is there any way to make this work? I do not want Bluetooth wireless earpods.
They shouldn’t need bluetooth. You bought a knockoff product from Amazon. Seen this 2 times before now. The real ones from Apple do not involve bluetooth at all. The knockoff ones you bought, get power from the lightning port, and for whatever stupid reason, play audio via bluetooth (probably because they aren’t MFi certified.)
Yay!! I got them to work. I didn't realize that they would need to use Bluetooth to connect wired earbuds. Thank you so much for responding to my question. I really appreciate it!
If you bought Apple’s Lightning EarPods, and they still don’t work after a force restart: Force restart iPhone – Apple Support (UK), return, or get a replacement under warranty from Apple or whoever you purchased it from.
(Also, I quite enjoy my Beats Flex wireless earbuds, but it is totally up to you of course.)
Yes, they are from Amazon. Ugh. trying to save money after spending it all on my phone :-)
Thanks again for your help!
