Hello, I am running IOS 14.7.1 on my iPhone SE 2020. I listen to audio books and radio programs through headphones which connect to my iPhone via a lightning to 3.5 mm jack adapter.I use this in bed in the early morning before my wife has woken up. It is thus essential that the whole process is silent with no sounds from the iPhone speakers. For some time I have used the OPSO lightning to 3.5 mm jack adapter from Amazon, as I found that this model lasts much longer than other cheaper models. It used direct wiring to make the connection which worked very well.
Recently OPSO have changed the design of this adapter to use bluetooth for some reason I cannot understand. This has resulted in the following problems with the result that I cannot start the listening process with no sound from my iPhone speakers. I have to get out of bed and set up in a different room! The first problem is that I turn bluetooth off on the iPhone before going to sleep. This is because I use haptic time on my Apple watch which sometimes results in accidentally pinging the iPhone with the ping sound coming from the iPhone speakers. This disables the headphones and I thus have to use the iPhone speakers to turn bluetooth back on. The second problem is that even if I leave bluetooth on I still cannot start the listening process with no sound from the iPhone speakers. When I press the home button on the iPhone to wake it up a few seconds of sound come from the iPhone speakers before bluetooth gets going and transfers the sound to the headphones. So I now need a different model of lightning to 3.5 mm jack adapter which does not involve bluetooth and which ideally keeps working reliably for a long time across multiple unplugging of the lightning end of the adapter to enable me to recharge the iPhone, or to upload the iPhone contents to my iMac. So can anyone recommend a good long lasting non-bluetooth lightning to 3.5 mm jack adapter?
