One possible reason for the discontinuation of the Lightning - 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter is that Apple has discontinued the Lightning port from the iPhone 15 series released in 2023. At the time of writing, Apple only sells three iPhone models with Lightning ports: the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, and iPhone SE, which are also expected to be discontinued in 2025, so MacRumors reports that Apple has discontinued the sale of the Lightning - 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter ahead of time.
In addition, Apple sells a 'USB-C to 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter' so that wired earphones can be used with iPhone 15 and later models that do not have a headphone jack.
