It has been nearly two years since Apple released the iPhone 7 without a headphone jack, forcing users who still use wired headphones to plug them into the Lightning connector using an adapter included in the box.
Apple has since included a free adapter in the box with the iPhone 7, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X - but no more.
Apple will not ship the Lightning-to-3.5mm audio jack dongle with its new 2018 iPhones, or with its older model iPhones.
Instead, you will have to buy the dongle separately for A$15.
So if you’re buying an iPhone XS from A$1,629 you will no longer have a direct way to connect your wired headphones to your shiny new device.
Dongles are never a great user experience - as Samsung pointed out in their video below - but not having one when you need one to plug into wired headphones or a speaker, is even worse.
Apple is betting on the majority of new iPhone buyers using the provided Lightning-connected EarPods worth $45; or even better upgrading to Apple's wireless alternative - the AirPods at $229.
