I have an iPhone 7, and my reader is about 3 years old.

Does anyone know if an old reader approximately 3 years old will work with an iPhone 7. Haven't tried it, just curious if anyone knows?

Hey @Jkeasley - There's a 50/50 chance it will work so I would give it a try using the headphone jack to lightning port adapter that came with your iPhone. You can try testing a $1 charge and if the swipe doesn't go through, you may need to grab a new one.


If you need a reader right away, you can purchase the Magstripe at participating retail stores. To find the nearest retailer, check out this map. We recommend calling ahead as our map doesn't account for updated inventory levels.

 

Let us know how it goes!

 

Update: You can now buy a magstripe reader for iPhones (so you don't need to use an adapter)! To buy one, sign in to the Square Shop🎉
