Rodesia.org Well, some time ago my iPhone stopped recognizing the headphones, it really looked like some hardware failure, and I started to lose my hope, iPhone was 2+ years old, and a repair would be too costly for sure.
Well, after some googling around, it turns out that the solution was pretty simple, with an open paper clip just remove the accumulated lint inside the iphone’s headphone jack!

I enjoyed reading your blog. I just read that Brits vote iPhone 8th greatest invention. I love my Iphone.
Thanks for the mention – glad we could help! I was so bewildered that so much lint could come out of my headphone jack on my iPhone!
You, sir, have just saved me 100quid and a trip to the so called genius bar. Bravo. And as a side note, it’s the most satisfying thing on earth.
Exactly the same thing happened to me. My “googling around” took me to this page. I promptly got a paperclip, gently dug around in there, and pulled out two wads of lint. Viola! Headphones working again. Thanks!!
My iPhone had a similar issue with the audio jack and i cleaned it with the paper clip as said and i was surprised to see the amount of lint that came out. It works perfect now. Thank u so much!!!!! u saved me $50 atleast !!
