The new cheapest thing in the Apple store (2024)

Quick --what's the cheapest thing you can buy at the Apple store?

If you said the $19 Lightning-to-USB cable that can charge your iPhone, you would have been right -- until Tim Cook made the iPhone 7 announcement Wednesday.

A lot of cool things were announced at the keynote, and most of them are expensive, but I don't think anyone anticipated that Apple would release a new winner for cheapest item in the Apple store.

The item in question is the new Lightning-to-3.5mm headphone jack adapter, which costs just $9.

Of course, Apple is including one of these adapters with every new iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, but if I know anything, it's that people are going to lose a lot of these adapters. Apple should probably consider selling them in multi-packs.

As long as we're talking about headphones, let's take a minute to mention Apple's new wireless AirPods.

They look like EarPods with the cables cut off, but the AirPods are Apple's new fancy high-end headphone offering that will cost $159 when they are released in October.

The AirPods use Bluetooth to connect, and they are supposed to automatically pair themselves to your iPhone and Apple Watch, as well as your iPad and Mac. I'm kind of curious to see how well the auto-pairing works.

During the announcement, I was worried the AirPods would only work with the iPhone 7 models, but as soon as the keynote was over and Apple's website was updated, I saw the AirPod compatability list, which includes every Apple watch, every phone back to the iPhone 5, every iPad back to the Air and Mini 2, and sixth-generation iPod Touch models.

They come with a case with a built-in battery that can keep the AirPods charged up for more than 24 hours of listening, although you will have to charge them after five hours of use.

They will quick-charge in the case, and a 15-minute visit to the battery case will give three hours of listening.
