When Apple unveiled the iPhone 7, many were disappointed by its decision to kill off the much-loved 3.5 mm headphone jack, which has been used for a long time already. However, Apple defended its choice stating that the move was made out of 'courage,' the courage to ditch an old connector for a new one, which can improve the listening experience for more people.

With this in consideration, Nicer Studios, a company marketing itself as 'a parody of the good folks at Apple,' took advantage of the situation. It thought about Apple's bold step into the future, and decided to help those iPhone owners who now feel left out.

The 'Apple Plug' helps anyone who has an iPhone with a 3.5mm jack instantly "upgrade" into an iPhone 7-like device by covering up the jack with a plug. "Fill in your archaic headphone connector with beautiful aluminium and plug yourself into the future," the product's description says.

The plug will transform your old iPhone into a device that is in line with Apple's vision. Once connected, the Apple Plug will stay in place, and will not be removable. Why would you want to downgrade back to an old iPhone anyway?

Nicer Studios calls the Apple Plug cool, affordable, progressive, safe, and waterproof. The best part?
It's better.

I have no words for this (for both the 1st and 2nd articles). Because now what limits you from listening to music isn't your phone's battery live, but your headphone's battery life. Is this what the world has come to? As years goes by, Apple products becomes more and more of a meme. Can't believe some people still complain about Microsoft and Windows after seeing what kind of joke Apple releases for $700+.

It's pretty suspicious to me that this newly launch jack-less iPhone has the intention to get users to buy Air Pods. I would start to believe that if users trying to use other than airpods there might be incompatibility issue.

In any case, Apple has some "not-so-good review" of their own earpiece on head-fi forum.

This is actually really cool. I wish they would bring the no jack feature to Android though, but it seems Apple is one step ahead.

Overprice earphones, we should admit that we pay for the name brands instead on a product itself.

Even though the quality may be good but more to be disposable due to damage rate.
