End of an era? Apple appears to be phasing out its Lightning adapter for wired headphones
The Lightning-to-3.5mm adapter was originally included in the box when you bought any phone from the iPhone 7, iPhone 8 and iPhone X ranges. However, Apple stopped this practice when it launched the iPhone XS, instead listing the adapter as an optional $9 / £9 / AU$15 purchase online and in physical Apple Stores.
