USB C Headphone lead on iPhone 15 SOLVED (sort of)

I too purchased the Apple 3.5 headphone adapter cable to use with a set of headphones I use with my IPhone 15. Used the same headphones on my IPhone 13 with a 3.5 adapter to lightning connector without any problems. I have just started to experience the issue where I try to play music through the headphones and the songs won’t start. I takes a hard reset to make it work. If I stop playing music for a period of time ( not sure how long) I have to reset again to play my music. Sooo frustrating especially when traveling. What will it take to get a resolution from Apple?

I just bought the iPhone 15 Pro Max. I wanted to use my EarPods that I used with my old iPhone 12 so I bought a lighting to usb-c adapter. Seemed like the cheapest solution but alas, no sound come out the EarPods, just the phone speakers. The fact that Apple was so stubborn about having a proprietary connector for so long then to finally switch to usb-c and not making sure it worked properly is extremely frustrating. I had to buy all new charging cables for my car, home, and office. I really don’t understand the rationale for the change. I stick with Apple because for the most part they get it right or fix issues right away. Come on Apple!

They changed because EU regulations made them change to a standardized dongle. Too expensive to design and manufacture different phones for different markets, so now they are all USB-C.

USB-C is overall going to be a better change - maybe a few hiccups along the way though.

Same here v v frustrating. £1000 phone I've just bought a TRS to TRRS audio cable to see if that would work, but what a terrible solution for Apple. Steve J would never have allowed this to happen.

IMO Apple are loosing some of their considered and careful approach to Product development and launch to market. Sloppy.

Lets see if 3 cables fix the problem

…. And my Pioneer Rayz, with noice cancellation and Lightning, sort-of work on my iPhone 15, with the Apple lightning to usbc adapter. I get music but the rayz app does not recognise the headset so I can’t update its firmware or customise the buttons.

since I switched to the 15 I have not been able to do one of the apps that I use a lot through my earphones that would also pick up sounds at the microphone. Very frustrating. I wonder if they have a USB to headphone adapter piece that has three slots that will pick up the microphone

I’m hoping somebody can help me. I recently bought the adapter for my phone so that I could play it through my cars cassette deck. When I plugged in the adapter, my iPhone asked if it was for headphones. Since it was the adapter, I put no when I actually should have put yes. It gave me a message that I could change this in Settings but I can’t figure out how to change it. Would anybody know where I would have to go in settings to tell it that it is headphones that I’m trying to plug-in.
