AnswerYou can't. These EarPods are specially made for iDevices that have lightning ports ONLY. I suggest the base 3.5mm EarPod model if you're still interested. However, they still sound great!

How will these work for backwards compatibility, like a MacBook Pro?
I see that the new iPhone will include a male lightning to female co-axil adapter. Will there be a female lightning to male co-axil adapter as well? If not, how could I use these headphones with my MacBook Pro?

Answer
Nothing specifically outlined, but other headphones I've used that have both a 3.5mm version and a Lightning (or USB) version have always sounded better through the Lightning ones. Just richer, more detail. A good comparison, is the difference between speakers you buy in a supermarket, and speakers you buy from a music store :P
So nothing specific on paper, but if you get to try out a pair of the lightning ones and the 3.5mm ones side by side, I would expect the Lightning ones to sound better. Apple does a 14-day return policy so long as they're not damaged, so if there's nowhere nearby that you can try them out side by side, you could always buy a pair, listen to them and send them back if you don't feel they're worth the upgrade!- Answered by Anthony R from Belconnen

Can the volume controls on these be used to take photos?
- Asked by Sandra B from Kansas City

- Flag as inappropriate (Can the volume controls on these be used to take photos?)
AnswerYes, using your media remote on the EarPods will change the volume, which will start and stop videos and act as a shutter button for photos. Any device connected to your device that can externally chancan your volume should absolutel work, as it triggers the shutter button.

What is warranty, if any, on Earpods with Lightning connector purchased from a retail outlet?
I bought Earpods with Lightning Connector (MMTN2AM) at a Best Buy on 3/1/2018 and today they are broken (4/18/2018). They have not been damaged. Are these covered on any type of warranty or are they replaceable? Note, this is the second pair of these that have quit working since I got this phone in the fall.
