how to charge iPhone7 while using headphones

... in the evening my phones battery is low normally, but I want to listen to an audio book in bed before sleeping. How to charge the iphone7 while the headphones are plugged in?

One slot for audio output and charging means no chance to get the battery charged while listenning to musik or watching serials with headphones on.


iPhone7, even more with BT earphones, is a mobile device forced to be next to a socket all the time just to keep all batteries of all devices charged rotationaly, I fear. Or is there another adapter for our new Wonderfull Wireless World?


Sorry.


I am an Apple user for more than 20 years. But hey: Think before being different.

Nope. Wrong item. I need a 2 in 1.
Another person gave me the correct one for my phone:

That one is even more wrong that the first one you linked to. It is not MFI certified. It doesn't support volume or answer/hang up controls. It doesn't support audio playback controls. And there is a good chance it will fry your phone and destroy it completely.

You're claiming that the "wrong item" is a 2-1 that IS Apple-certified and that the "correct one" is the one that is NOT Apple-certified? Wow! Don't post back here when your cheapo causes problems with your iPhone.
