Do you move the connector while it’s plugged in e.g. if you have the phone in your pocket plugged in and then connected to wired headphones? The lightning connector works fine when you don’t move it, but not when you do.
- eventualhorizon 3y agoI have used the lightning headphone adapter on my iphone almost daily for a couple of years. Whenever I have problems like you describe it's because the lightning port has dirt/pocket lint in it. I have a plastic tool that I use to clean it out and it works fine again. The only other issue I have is that the thin wire does wear out over time.
- CogitoCogito 3y agoI've used entirely new adapters in an entirely new phone and had the issue. Many I know have experienced the same (before giving up on using the adapter wile moving). But it's true I've also heard from people like you who haven't had issues so I can't personally say it's always a problem. But really what I don't understand is how Apple can't just add an option to turn off the damn accessibility options entirely. Why does dirt or temporary bad connections cause this problem at all? They could just let you turn off the setting that it triggers so that it really doesn't matter. The fact that they don't care enough to do that tells me enough of how much they care about making their headphone adapter a good product. I never used to have to worry about issues like this with a regular headphone jack, but I certainly do with Apple's adapter. It's simply a poor product.
