Some iPhone models do not have an earphone jack. If you are not satisfied with the genuine Lightning compatible earphones, you need to devise a way to use your favorite earphones. Introducing how to use wired earphones on iPhone and recommended items.
IPhone without earphone jack
If you buy your iPhone without any knowledge, you may be surprised that you don't have an earphone jack. I will explain the reason why there is no earphone jack and the attached genuine earphone.
iPhone 7 and later models
In iPhone, where new models are released one after another, the earphone jack is abolished in iPhone 7 and later models. Of course, it is not installed in the latest model.
The reason why the earphone jack is abolished is to improve the smartphone performance.
The 3.5mm port installed in a general mobile terminal has an analog output, but all the circuits in the iPhone use digital signals.
By eliminating the earphone jack, the signal conversion circuit becomes unnecessary, the battery utilization efficiency is improved, and there is room for adding other parts.
With genuine earphones that can be replaced in case of failure
Genuine earphones "EarPods" are included with iPhone 5 and later iPhones at the time of purchase. It is not a general in-ear type or canal type, but a unique streamlined shape that is easy to install.
EarPods are buttons on the right side that you can use to control the music being played or the incoming call. It is also possible to start Siri and ask for various operations while wearing it.
If you meet the conditions such as the iPhone is within the warranty period and the wiring inside is not broken, you can have the failed EarPods replaced free of charge.
As a general rule, the product warranty period for iPhone is one year. You can replace it as many times as you like within the warranty period.
How to use wired earphones
In addition to using genuine earphones, you can also use Apple's wireless earphones "AirPods" and Bluetooth compatible earphones. However, the sound quality of wireless is inevitably inferior to that of wired.
If you want to listen to music with your own wired earphones, use a replacement adapter.
Use a replacement adapter
As mentioned above, all data inside the iPhone is processed by digital signals. On the other hand, general wired earphones cannot reproduce sound unless they are output as analog signals.
However, by using a replacement adapter for the iPhone that has an earphone jack, the digital signal of the iPhone will be converted to an analog signal, and you can use a general wired earphone.
