Apple Will No Longer Include a Headphone Dongle When Purchasing a New iPhone

Goodbye, headphone jack.

Apple caused quite a stir when it removed the headphone jack on the iPhone 7 back in 2016, introducing a dongle to allow users to still connect their headphones to the iPhone through the charging port.
