Apple introduced the iPhone 7 in 2016. The phone is noted for being the first Apple handset to ship without a traditional 3.5mm headphone jack — something Apple infamously praised as a move that took “courage.

While Apple has not officially confirmed the discontinuation of the Lightning to 3.5mm adapter, the absence of the product from official listings and the sudden depletion of inventory suggest that the company may be phasing out the accessory in favour of its wireless products.
