Surprise - Apple's In-Ear Headphones are not iPhone Compatible
Over the weekend, I purchased Apple’s new in-ear headphones. I’ve always been a fan of the way in-ear headphone fit my ear and have been wishing for Apple to realize such a product. Several unsuccessful visits to the Apple Store to purchase the new headphones went unsuccessful as the headphones were always sold-out. Then, finally this weekend, the Apple Store in Chandler had several units in stock so I made my purchase.
Within minutes I was surprised to learn that the volume controls on the headphones are not compatible with the iPhone. Apple releasing a new product that isn’t compatible with their flagship iPhone product continues to puzzle me. I have to believe that Apple is planning to support the in-ear headphones in the next iPhone software update, I’ll be reading Apple news waiting for that day. Of course, Apple has not committed to supporting the headphones’ volume controls in the iPhone. Caveat emptor!
