The R570 adapter that lets you charge your iPhone 7 while using headphones

Accessory maker Belkin has unveiled an adapter that will let Apple iPhone 7 users charge their device while listening to music through wired headphones.

One of the new features of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus is that the devices sport a single Lightning connection – with the headphone jack now removed.

Belkin’s Lightning Audio + Charge RockStar adapter will sell for $39.99 (R570) in the US in October, and features two Lightning ports joined to a single cable.

Apple also includes a headphone jack-to-Lightning adapter with the iPhone 7 for free.
