Lightning Splitter
Trying to find a splitter that would ideally have three ports to allow me to charge my iPhone/iPad while also plugging in two 3.5mm pairs of headphones to use while flying with my wife.

iPhone 8/Plus 8 Plus sounds awful via Lightning Phones adapter
So I just moved up from a 6s to an 8 Plus and absolutely love it - massive step up in overall speed, camera, battery life, etc. However, as an audio guy I'm already livid with the loss of the headphone jack. I had resigned myself to using the dongle in the car, assuming the audio quality would... -

We already know that the iPhone 8 is going to charge via the lightning connecter and not USB C but we do not know whether Apple will include a lighting to USB C cable or lightning to USB A cable in the box.

My fiancee and I both have iPhone 7s. I'd like to find a headphone splitter for two lightning headphones.

Why the iPhone won't get USB-C [MERGED]
When Apple introduced Lightning, they said it "is a modern connector for the next decade", openly admitting that the naming was inspired by the 'Thunderbolt' port, when Schiller said "Now we have thunderbolt, and lightning, in our connector strategy". At first that didn't make a lot of sense... -

Connect headphones to Apple TV remote
Right now it doesn't seem to be possible to connect lightning-headphones to the remote. The point of this would of course be to get the sound from the headphones instead of the tv.
