Unfortunately you can’t charge the iPhone 7 while you’re listening to music through headphones. This gadget can.


If you haven’t heard already, Apple kicked the 3.5mm headphone jack to the curb. And yes, a lot of people are not happy about it.

So if you want to listen to music from you iPhone 7, you’ll need a pair of headphones with a lightning cable or use one of the lightning cable adapters Apple includes with the phone. The only problem with the adapter is that you won’t have the ability to charge the phone at the same time.

The next best solution is a lightning dock, and luckily, there’s a ton of them.

There’s the official dock from Apple which costs $49, but there’s also a slew of them on Amazon starting from $12 all the way to $50. Check out the whole collection of them here.

Sure, it’s probably not the solution you were looking for, but unfortunately this is the direction Apple is heading in. Hopefully, they’re the only smartphone manufacture with this way of thinking.
