How can I use my iPhone 7 without a headphone jack?

[VanKalkerFarms]

So now that the iphone 7 has been offically annouced, with the rumored lack of headphone port, does square have any information they can announce as to whether the included lightning to headphone dongle will work with the mag stripe reader? 

@Kpay or @Sean?

August 2018 Update:

Hello again! A quick upate to let you know a new magstripe reader that connects to new iPhones is now available for $10. 🎉🙌 You can read about this new reader here: Introducing a new Square magstripe reader. Or to order a reader sign in to the Square Shop!

@VanKalkerFarms - Happy to follow up! Alongside the release of Apple's newest iPhone, they also shared that they're including a lightning to 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter. We've tested out this adapter out, and it works just fine with all of our readers. 

Also, it's definitely worth mentioning that the Square Contactless and Chip Card Reader pairs wirelessly to smartphones and tablets, meaning, no headphone jack required. 👍

With the move to chip cards, and the speed of contactless payments - sellers should still be in a good position, regardless of what smartphone or tablet they're using. 

Hope this helps!

Hey @slingthemud!

I moved your post to an existing thread on the reader we offer for the newer iPhones that plugs into the charging port.
