New Iphone adapter for Square reader for Magstripe

I have a new Iphone 16 , the square reader is not compatible with it.  I bought some adapters, I had an iphone X before.  The adapter does not work.  Wondering if anyone has found one that will work on the new phones.  

 

Thanks

Hey @ritzy.  The iPhone 16 needs a USB-C connection, as will all newer iPhones after this one.  Currently Square only offers headphone jack and lightning magstripe readers.  Therefore, until Square releases a USB-C magstripe reader, you will need to purchase a USB-C to Lightning adaptor.

Or, if you have headphone jack magstripe readers, you’ll need a USB-C to headphone jack adaptor.  Regardless, adaptors for iPhone X definitely will not work for iPhone 16.
