To resolve the issue of incompatible audio inputs between the iPhone 7 and new MacBook Pro, Apple does have an adapter available to allow auxiliary to convert to a lightning port, but not vice versa.

The AirPods are to be touch sensitive to activate and are expected to be approximately $159 U.S. dollars

The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are ready for purchase and pre-order to beat the holiday season. The new MacBook Pro is available for preorder and is expected to ship within two to three weeks.
