Charging the iphone 7 while using headphones

Am I missing something, or if I get the iphone 7 does that mean I can no longer listen to music on my headphones and charge the phone at the same time?

Hi


Solutions for charging your iPhone whilst also using wired headphones include:


iPhone Dock


Belkin's Lightning Audio + Charge RockStar™ enables you to charge your iPhone whilst also listening to music via wired headphones. It supports use of:

  • The supplied EarPods (or other headphones with a Lightning connector).
  • Headphones with a 3.5mm jack, when connected via the Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter (which is included with the iPhone).
  • http://www.belkin.com/us/F8J198-Belkin/p/P-F8J198/


Other accessories may follow in due course from Apple and/or third-party manufacturers.


When buying any accessory for your iPhone, ensure that it is either a genuine Apple product or that - like the Belkin product - it has been certified as Made for iPhone (MFi).

Well there are many products out there which you may use. Many additional products provides two slots one for head phone and one for charging. Having said that, I think apple shouldn't have removed the headphone slot. it doesn't make any logic to carry so many things, just to charge and use headphone, only because they took the slot off. its not very neat to carry one converter which will convert the standard headphone to lighting slot , then carry another converter which will provide you two slots of lighting etc. Have to carry too many products and spend additional money.

I hope they will put the standard headphone slot back in next model.

The only way to convince Apple to do something is with money. Lots of it. Had the iPhone 7 failed to sell much cause it was missing the headphone jack, there would probably have been a 7s, 7h or whatever, with a big ole hole real quick. But since it is flying off the shelves as it is, do NOT expect the iPhone8 to have a hole down there anymore.
