How to listen to music while charging iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus

iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are the latest and most powerful iPhones from Apple, and the price for innovation was the abandonment of the socket for

headphones - 3.5 jack. Of course, its absence will not affect all iPhone 7 owners, but only music lovers.

Apple included an adapter with the iPhone 7Lightning -> 3.5 mm, however, there is still one seriousproblem. You cannot charge your iPhone while listening to music. Despite the fact that using the device while charging does not lead to anything good, many people continue to do it. In all my years of using the iPhone, I don’t remember a single time when I listened to music and charged the device at the same time.

Luckily, if you're willing to pay extra, you can charge your new iPhone 7 and listen to music at the same time. How? You have several options, although they are not very convenient.

Apple lightning dock

Apple sells docking station for iPhone 7 for 4090rubles, which has Lightning and 3.5 mm audio connectors, which will allow you to listen to music while charging your phone. Since it's a docking station, you obviously won't be able to carry it around with you everywhere, but if you regularly plug your iPhone in to charge and listen to music in the same place at home, Apple's Lightning Dock is a great fit.

Belkin Lightning Audio + Charge RockStar

If you're looking for something more portable, you canbuy Belkin Lightning Audio + Charge Rockstar. Belkin stated that they worked on this accessory “in close collaboration” with Apple. The idea is that the accessory connects to the Lightning port of your iPhone, and on the other side it has two additional Lightning ports. This means you can easily connect the charging cable and lightning to 3.5 jack adapter. Of course, this makes the whole structure bulky and complex. If you use EarPods with Lightning, then obviously you can exclude the adapter from Lightning to 3.5 mm from this chain

If this option sounds right to you, you can purchase this adapter starting October 10 for $39.95 at Apple retailers and online stores.

If you often listen to music from your iPhonethrough the music system, you can always buy a 3.5 Bluetooth adapter from Logitech. It allows you to connect your iPhone to your music system wirelessly, thereby freeing up the Lightning port to charge your phone.

Buy a Logitech adapter for RUB 1,542.

None of the above optionsis ideal, but both solve this problem. Using an adapter or docking station can be inconvenient, but you eventually get used to it. Otherwise, you can always buy Apple's $149 AirPods or any other pair of wireless headphones so you can listen to music wirelessly while charging your phone.
