How to remove a metal piece from my iphone 5 headphone jack?

Today I was trying to get sound on my iPhone's speaker. It kept telling me it was on headphone mode. I checked if there was anything stuck inside the headphone jack, and I realized that the little metal piece that is at the end of the ear pods (the thing you stick into the jack) was stuck inside. Can anyone give me suggestions on how to take it out?

Ps. I have tried sticking tooth picks and needles into pick it out, but it's stuck!

Take it to the apple store they may replace it because the ear pods may have been defective

It's weird. I suggest you send your iPhone to App Store. It's unwise to mend it yourself.

  • Somehow, a huge piece of the headphone jack got stuck in the headphone port, and I can't find any I think the headphone type is just a normal iPhone headphone. So ground, audio, mic and some of the plastic, or whatever it is, around it, got stuck in there, and it's not super deep, probably because it's almost the whole headphone jack, but it's still in there. Someone please help! I can't find anything! It's just the headphone jack tip that got stuck for everyone else! It's a laptop.
  • Is the metal in an iPhone 4 detectable by a metal detector? I lost my iPhone 4 in the snow the other day and all other ways of looking for it have failed. Does anyone know if the metal in it is detectable in the snow?
  • Is my iPhone the cause of my headphone jack breaking? So I have an iPhone 4S and I was using these headphones for about a year and all the sudden the jack you plug in to the phone, bent. It wouldn't work anymore. I don't know how this happened, it may not have been my iPhone. However, now I have a new pair of headphones and I just want to make sure it isn't my phone doing this, could it be my phone or is that very unlikely?
