This is another way to connect your speakers to your iPhone. Unfortunately, Apple has removed the 3.5mm jack starting with the iPhone 7, so you will have to use a 3.5mm to Lightning adapter.

All you have to do is just take your speaker, connect the 3.5mm jack to it, and connect the other part of it to your iPhone via the adapter.

You should agree that the wire that goes to the iPhone isn’t so convenient and aesthetic. If you want it to look much more attractive, you can use speaker docks.

Another way to connect your speakers to Bluetooth is to use AirPlay. While Bluetooth connection is typically around 30 feet, the range of Wi-Fi signal (that’s used in AirPlay connection) is up to 65 feet (and even further with range extenders).

However, not all speakers support AirPlay, so check if AirPlay is supported first. If it’s supported, then you should do the following in order to connect your iPhone to speakers:
