Apple's controversial iPhone accessory may have been discontinued


It's now sold out in most countries, suggesting there's no stock left

The decision disrupted the market substantially, and means that headphone jacks have disappeared from most smartphones as companies began manufacturing bluetooth wireless earbuds instead. Apple made the transition a little easier for those who weren’t ready to give up on their wired headphones by including a $9 adapter. However, it looks like it could now be confined to the annals of history, as the Lightning to 3.5mm jack adapter has sold out in the US and other countries, suggesting Apple may have quietly discontinued it (thanks, MacRumors).
