XR to 13, as I don't want the latest and didn't want to loose my jailbreak.
Infuriated by the 13.
The 3.5mm audio thunder bolt adapters disconnect more often than usual. All I need to do is tap the adapter and it disconnects.
And that Apple has now stopped selling them is even more infuriating, it's not a faulty adapter.
- internet2000 2y agoIt’s probably because of the jailbreak.

- HumblyTossed 2y ago> The 3.5mm thunder bolt adapters The what? is this the adapter for 3.5mm headphones? If so, you don't have to get Apple made dongles. Third parties make them also.
- Kirby64 2y agoOr just buy the actual Apple adapter from any number of other vendors. Best Buy still has plenty in stock, for instance. I'd guess the GPs actual problem is lint in the Lightning port though. Pretty common, relatively easy to clean out too, especially compared to USB-C.
- doublerabbit 2y agoI'm in the EU. Third party ones cost the same as authentic Apple ones. If not more. Regardless of either, they both have the same fault. The connector between the phone and the adapter is poor. It could just be a fault with my phone but I have no way of proving this.
- Kirby64 2y agoThird party ones are almost certainly not as good as the actual Apple ones. The Apple one has remarkably good quality for its price. I suspect this sounds like a problem with your specific phone. Never had a problem with any lightning accessories myself.
- doublerabbit 2y agoYes, which have the same fault as Apple authentic adapters which cost the same amount if not more.
- qubitcoder 2y agoI realize this isn't your particular use case. But with newer iPhones, you can use USB-C directly for audio. I've been using the Audio Technica ATH-M50xSTS for a while now. The audio quality is exceptional. For Slack/Team/Zoom calls, the sidetone feature plays your voice back inside the headphones, with the level being adjustable via a small toggle switch on the left side. That makes all the difference, similar to transparency/adaptive modes on the AirPod Pro 2s (or older cellphones and landlines). I use a small Anker USB-A to USB-C adapter [1]. They're rock solid. As great as the AirPod Pro 2s are, a wired connection is superior in terms of reliability and latency. Although greatly improved over the years, I still have occasional issues connecting or switching between devices. Out of curiosity, what's the advantage of a jailbroken iPhone nowadays? I'd typically unlock Android phones in the past, but I don't see a need on iOS today. Interestingly, the last time I used Android, I had to sideload Adguard (an adblocker). On the App Store, it's just another app alongside competing adblockers. No such apps existed in the Play Store to provide system-level blocking, proxying, etc. Yes, browser extensions can be used, but that doesn't cover Google's incessant quest to bypass adblockers (looking at you Google News).

- nolist_policy 2y agoAdguard is on the Play Store. Netguard as well.
