Anker do one now!
For headphones you can use that adapter (fiddly) or a 3rd party dongle, or buy something like the ATH-M50x with BAL-M50 bluetooth adapter, which was my daily driver and I loved it (until they got nicked :( )
- lozf 9y agoDoes Bluetooth Audio sync with Video playback properly now? I recall it being disconcertingly laggy a few years ago.
- Wildgoose 9y agoJust tried checking that out, but apparently it is "Currently Unavailable". Thanks for the recommendation though. But in any event, it is just something else needing charging, and it isn't only in the car. The headphone jack costs pennies and is universal. Scrapping it in order to encourage people to buy your Airpods is not simply not good enough - especially for those of us who simply can't wear in-ear buds.
- wilsonnb 9y agoThat wasn't the only reason they scrapped it. There is a good argument to be made that the 3.5mm was a redundant port because lightning/USB C are both capable of sending audio (with the assistance of an adapter until lightning/USB C headphones are more common).
