More iPhone 7 Accessories You Probably Need: Meet Uncourage, The Keychain For Your Headphone Dongle

Uncourage is the keychain that takes care of life's problems — for iPhone 7 owners, that is.

Straight off the bat, it's a little doohickey that'll hold a 3.5 mm iPhone headphone dongle. Essentially, it's just a male connector.

Uncourage Is A Simple Yet Clever Idea

As implied earlier, there's no fancy gizmo or technology at work here. Uncourage is only a keychain that has a headphone connector that lets anyone securely plug their iPhone adapter.

Sure, it might not be much at first glance, but it addresses a few problems that iPhone 7 users are facing — having to lug around a cable in their pockets where only God knows what's happening inside, and to make sure it won't suddenly go missing.

Who Needs This? Those Without Courage To Embrace Lightning Or Wireless Headphones

From the look of things, Uncourage seems to be the perfect accessory for those who just aren't ready to part ways with their headphones just yet and switch to either Lightning or wireless earphones.

Well, it's not like iPhone 7 owners can jump into the wireless bandwagon right now, as the AirPods' launch has been delayed.

At any rate, the wireless earbuds are expected to start shipping out before 2016 ends.

How It Came To Be: Courage Sometimes Have To Be 'Uncouraged'

Having the courage to shake things up doesn't necessarily mean it's a good thing, and the makers of Uncourage have noticed Apple's bold move to ditch the 3.5 mm headphone port.

"During the recent iPhone 7 launch, Apple announced the removal of the headphone jack. The reasoning behind the change was described as 'courage.' We love the idea of a wireless world, but a lot of the devices we use are still connected by a 3.5mm headphone jack. The Uncourage Plug is a convenient way to carry the dongle around with you so you don't lose or forget it," the product description reads.

Wrapping Up The Nifty Keychain: Price And Availability

To boil things down, Uncourage is one solution to remedy some of the problems that the iPhone 7 came with. The best part is it's already available and affordable, holding customers back by only $6, but shipping to the United States and markets other than Canada will cost $2 more.

Interestingly enough, it looks like the need for dongles and adapters is opening a slew of new opportunities for manufacturers in the market, giving them one heck of a field day of sorts. Needless to say, they can all thank Apple for that.

It's also worth mentioning that there are other alternatives to bring back the 3.5 mm headphone jack to the iPhone 7 and the option to charge the smartphone and listen to music at the same time, particularly the Fuze case, which provides some extra juice to boot.
