IPhone 7 Question

Wife is into listening to music and has a boatload on her I phone 7.

So the ear buds that came with the phone pug into the same port as used for charging.

Is it impossible to be charging the phone and listen to music at the same time? There is no separate old standard type jack to plug ear phones into. thanx

  • That is the fly in the ointment. But there IS a solution. There is an adapter that gives you TWO plugins, one for headphones, one for charging. That's the upside. Downside is that it costs $40.

  • Lot's of people unhappy about this. Apple is just trying (forcing?) people to buy wireless head phones. For $159 their Airpods were supposed to solve their self induced problem, but they can't seem to get them out of the factory for some undisclosed reason.
