Apple Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter

Apple Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter

Q: So is this the official "Apple" adapter or not?

There is reasonably good evidence that the one I got was NOT legitimate. The box and packaging looks like genuine Apple, except that a piece of white self-adhesive label material was affixed over the front of the box, covering the photo and the Apple logo. It does work okay on my iPhone 12. Possible hypotheses: 1. This was purchased from a supplier in some other country, and unofficially imported into the US. (This is commonly called "gray market".) 2. Apple discovered that a batch of these had a high rate of defective units and ordered the entire batch destroyed. Or Apple made a production change and ordered the old stock destroyed. But someone "rescued" them from destruction and sold them.

Q: Can I use an external mic that is 3.5 jack compatible? Or is this output only for headphones?

It can work. I test it. If you want to direct to use this adapter, you have to use TRRS type mic. If your mic is just TRS jack head, you have to buy one ‘TRRS male to TRS female cable’ to link this adapter to your TRS mic.

Q: Can it control music (volume, previous/next) and answer phone calls (microphone)? Also in regards to the real one vs. a cheap generic/clone/knock-off

This adapter came with my iPhone 7 plus... Don't buy this just double check the box your phone came in. As far as controlling music and phone calls... All this piece does is allow you to use your existing 3.5m headphones with your new phone (7 or 7 plus). As you know, your new phone does not have a 3.5m headphones jack. Therefore, in order to use your favorite pair of headphones you need this adapter... That's why it's included in the iPhone box! It's just an adapter...any control you have over music or calls will depend on your headphones.

Q: is this original apple adapter?

Mine absolutely seemed genuine, came in a sealed Apple factory box, and worked perfectly.
