Iphone Aux Cable

Connect Your iPhone Using an Aux Cable or Adapter

An aux adapter or cable can add some utility to smartphones such as the Apple iPhone 6 or 6s. You can take a look at eBay to find a broad range of iPhone aux cables for sale at low-cost prices that match your budget. Understanding some of the characteristics or features of aux adapters for iPhones can help you find the kind that works for you.

Design options for your iPhone aux cables

All iPhone aux adapters are meant to send processed analogue signals between your smartphone and any audio devices you might pair with it. However, some of the models you find on eBay have design characteristics that may make them convenient for you or easy to use when you need to make a quick connection. Here are some of the elements you will come across during your search:

  • Flexible - Most iPhone aux cords are meant to be somewhat flexible when you need to get them into tight spaces or place them at awkward angles. You can find new or used aux cords for iPhones that are flexible enough to position without interrupting the connection between the devices.
  • Flat - If you want to keep your iPhone aux input connected and out of the way, you can choose a cable or adapter with a flat design instead of the typically rounded sheath.
Types of iPhone aux adapters you can get

Most iPhone aux cables that you find on eBay are meant to help you adapt specific equipment you can pair with your smartphone. You may be able to find connectors that are intended for universal inputs. Some of the common things you can connect to your iPhone with a cable like this are headphones, speakers, or audio adapter devices that you might have in your vehicle. You can use the aux adapter cables to sync audio data between your car's system and your iPhone. The standard headphone jack is one of the more common types of aux cable inputs you might use. iPhone aux cables and the devices they can pair with come in various sizes listed in UK measurements. See the manufacturer site for details.

How do you choose an iPhone aux adapter?

Here are a couple of the common ways you can choose an iPhone aux cable for your needs:

  • Length - Get an iPhone aux cord that is long enough to attach to any device while keeping the smartphone at a level that is comfortable.
  • Input - Choose the size or style of aux connector that works for you.

Keep in mind that your phone model will, in part, determine what sort of aux connector you need. Apple removed the 3.5mm headphone jack starting with the iPhone 7, so when shopping for an aux cable for an iPhone 7 or later, you'll need to look for Lightning-to-aux adaptors instead of the typical female-to-female 3.5mm pieces.
