    Apple made the transition a little easier for those who weren’t ready to give up on their wired headphones by including a $9 adapter. However, it looks like it could now be confined to the annals of history, as the Lightning to 3.5mm jack adapter has sold out in the US and other countries, suggesting Apple may have quietly discontinued it

    It says “sold out” and “discontinued”. The latter is currently just speculation.

        Speculation in the sense that the article says it’s "suggested’, and the source cited is “Mac Rumours”.

        Not sure why you’re being so weird about it.
