Are you saying you have EarPods with a Lightning connector?

Quite honestly if you can’t get the adaptor for free just buy a new pair of earphones with a 3.5mm jack, it makes much more financial sense.

no I have this and it doesn't plug into the iMac that im working on, I need the Jack

Simple solution for a simple problem? I have no doubt they will work.

What 6spdmanual said.

Apple's lightning to 3.5mm headphone jack works the wrong way around for you..

Have an old one lying around somewhere, cost about R250 odd IIRC.

Buy some throw-away 3.5mm earphones and be done with it.

Anything over R100 and you wasting your money. I’d rather get a good brand generic AirPod pros for both phone and mac...

They work, don't sound to bad for what you pay, have had enough of them thanks to kids.

no I have this and it doesn't plug into the iMac that im working on, I need the JackView attachment 1158196

Just buy another pair of 3.5mm earphones.

Much cheaper than the adaptor.

As above, Apple, non Apple may have mic issues....possibly sort via sound in syspref.

 

[_kabal_]

In really doubt there exists a lightning to 3.5mm adapter that actually works properly, including the microphone

Borrow some? We probably have about 7 old sets op earphones that came bundled with cellphones over the years lying around. Or get a cheapish set of Volkano Bluetooth earphones from clicks

Get a PC

Get a PC

Would still need new / other earphones. In this case the iMac isn't the one being difficult, it's the iPhone

 

[greg0205]

Get a PC

PCs, famous for their Lightning ports.

PCs, famous for their Lightning ports.

And much cheaper than a R16 adapter.
