Just unplug them from the adapter and put the adapter in your bag or pocket. Then plug your headphones into destination device.

You'll be fine.

I'd lose that adapter in a week. My pockets are usually full of stuff and I'm always losing things that go in there. And my bag is like a black hole.

Although I'm not even sure why I'm getting involved in this. I've no intention of owning an iPhone for my personal device. I always get given them for work and I can just use the supplied headphones for conf calls anyway.

They'll have to lump it with an adaptor if they want a new phone. All the manufacturers will move to it. Of course, all the old phones will still be fine.

We've finally got to the point where chargers are near universal (well other then apple) and they change it again!

Still I guess USB 3 will be good for a few years and if small laptops and other devices that need more power switch to it then it will be for the greater good I guess.

Well until we have more fires from running more power down USB and cheap adapters from ebay. :D

Indeed. Just about every phone on the planet works with Micro USB apart from Apple's iPhones. Because they're so fucking special.

Or just do something really wild and consumer friendly and offer USB-C and a headphone socket. But then that might take up 0.2mm of precious phone space and everyone knows that absolute thinness and a pretty phone trumps a decent battery life and actual utility.

Are you sure it's good for your blood pressure to keep posting on Apple threads?

Not sure why you think it impacts my blood pressure. I'm generally quite amused by the company and the responses of some of its more enthusiastic fans/'defenders.'

Incidentally, Android's market share now stands at an all time high of 87.6% while Apple has slumped to 11.7%. Windows Phone continues to vanish into obscurity.

Does anyone have bluetooth headphones for their iPhone 6? And how does it effect battery life?

I want to get some headphones with a mic (I accidentally bought ones without last time), and am wondering whether bluetooth is the way to go.

I do also worry that when the headphones are out of battery, they become useless though.

I'm thinking about trying these

Problem with buying earphones online is, unless you've tried them out before, it's impossible to get a true sense of sound and comfort.

I find, for example that most in-ear headphones are designed with that rubber/silicone material on the end which blocks the ear so much I can hear myself breathing which I hate. Also, much like sunglasses, I find them incredibly easy to misplace or damage so anything much over £30 doesn't make sense for day to day use.

Hence why I tend to stick to just using apple's own white headphones which I actually rather like, except for the colour. The hard outer shell sits comfortably in the ear but doesn't bung it up, and the bass response it still pretty good.

Ah ok.

I like them right in my ear.... I can't stand the apple standard ones as they fall out all the time :(

I've got a pair of these, which I love, but i keep getting tangled up in the cables when I'm at the gym.

I would still carry wired ones when I'm traveling and don't want my phone battery to run down so much, but for day to day usage as I'm at a desk and can plug in an charge stuff, I'm thinking bluetooth might be a good way to go

Yeah everyone's ears are different. I'm still upset that Sony don't still do the MDR-W08L model, which was basically perfect for my needs and slotted into my ear comfortably, and allowed me to sleep with them in, great bass, volume control, everything.
 
Got a new black 7 for work. Its a lovely little phone except I put it in my pocket with the my new Nexus 6p and the extruded camera lens has scratched the nexus screen. Fuck you Apple!

The sticky-out lens on my 6S has gotten cracked recently, which is the first time I've ever broken any glass part of an iPhone. It actually still works okay except if there's any bright light around that could flare, at which point you get massive curvy lines all over the shop, and have to shield it with your hand, which is both awkward and makes you look like a tit.
 
I used Apple Pay for the first time today. It's handy for retail but it's not fast enough for tubes and buses where speed is of the essence.

I've decided to just shove my oyster card on the back of the phone wedged inside the case which is way more efficient.
 
Just been on a conf call using my headphones. Battery was low when I started the call and it was dragging on and on and on until I was down to 3%. If only I could plug in my charger at the same time...:facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

I guess you'll leap at the chance to upgrade to an iPhone 8 featuring wireless charging then :thumbs:

It's just that fraction too long compared to an Oyster card for me. Fine if you're not in a rush but I'm often shuffling my way through rush hour tube crowds and, and the time it takes to recognise apple pay and then I have to position my thumb to register the touch ID can be annoying for me and others. Not to mention I'm suddenly aware of how twatty it looks in a crowd of people all using regular Oyster or contactless cards.

It's a good backup though.
