That's because all those third-party vendors probably went out of business or abandoned Apple. I had lots of Y adapters to work around the problem Apple created but never solved: There was no way to charge the phone AND use an asinine headphone-jack dongle. The answer was a simple cable, with no power source. Overnight, they all stopped working because Apple wasn't getting its fee from those manufacturers.
