Hello Donna, The most important thing about redeeming a gift card, at least one that has a pre-paid fixed amount on it, is that you must remove a thin, and I do mean a thin strip of paper-tape that covers the actual locking code. Now, once this is done, the phone will actually detect the

Hi Mary, it's an attempt to solve the problem in that the Griffin device has a 3.5mm jack. But you then pair the device to your iPhone using Bluetooth 4.1. So depending on the Bluetooth stack in the iPhone 7, we could hit the latency issues that we all know about with VO and BT devices. If the
