Wish your iPhone 6s didn’t have a headphone jack, like the shiny new iPhone 7? If dropping the headphone jack left a hole in your heart — and your 6s — now there’s a solution: plug it with ‘Apple Plugs.’
Apple’s new ‘AirPods’ are completely wireless, but nothing new. We’ve had Bluetooth headphones for ages now. In fact, your iPhone 6 or 6s can (so can the Plus models) utilize them right now. Instead of forking over $700-ish dollars for a new model without the headphone jack, just shove a piece of metal in it and pretend it doesn’t exist — solidarity, brother.
The Apple Plug, lets you do just that with one of their finely-crafted (presumably) connectors designed to “fill in your archaic headphone connector with beautiful aluminum and plug yourself into the future.”
Can’t wait for iPhone 7? Upgrade today with Apple Plug. #OneLessThing https://t.co/3D0yack1ND

In case you were about to whip out the debit card, you can go ahead and put it back in your wallet. The product is a joke at Apple’s expense. Many believe, after all, that there’s nothing earth-shattering enough in the iPhone 7 to force an upgrade. Nicer Studio took that as an invitation to throw a few subtle jabs Apple’s way.
And jab it did. Nicer did a great job at poking fun at both Apple’s minimalist design aesthetic and its often over-the-top copy. I nearly lost it at ‘Just trust us. It’s better.’
