What you can try, go into phone settings, (don't have the D here, but from foggy memory), delete the phone but keep the paired audio device. I really don't know if that will work, never tried it.


It works just the same as before, no change in functionality just the change in the plug style.


You are functionally unable to use a normal head phone set with it. You need the extra cost adapter mentioned, I have one.

That adapter will not let you use a headphone/mic combo with a 3.5mm plug either. At least the one I have won't. You can listen, but no one can heard you speak. But since only my work phone is an Apple I don't care, I expensed out a new Apple specific set, if I had to buy one for myself I would be PO'd.
