If I am reading this correctly, a Røde SC4 adapter will merge the two signals into a single mono audio channel and get it to the iPhone. The signal will still potentially be VERY loud.
A Rockit adapter
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006T65CXE
would be similar but also let you listen to the iPhone via headphones.
Both combine the signal to be mono in.
An iRig (there are several types) would handle the signals better but cost more.

Pretty sure the one jack is a combo port. So you can get an audio splitter and plug into the port and then your devices .
https://www.amazon.com/Makers4Good-ESDHW011-Headphone-Microphone-Splitter/dp/B006T65CXE
You could also get a dual audio device instead. (Headphone/mic setup etc).
The 3.5mm TRS cable doesn't have a return channel to the phone. You need something like a Rockit adapter.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006T65CXE/
In theory, if you just use a TRS stewreo out from the phone to the H6 capsule, the phone's mic should stay live and you can talk at the phone for the guest while recording the SM7b. It's a ghetto mix-minus.
!
Look at the Rockit adapter here:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006T65CXE/
Personally I'd prefer something like a Behrnger UCA202 and some 1/4" TS to RCA cables. Then you can point the VOIP software to use the UCA and not get system sounds and likely less EMI noise from having the sound card in the computer case. Either should work and the UCA are hard to find at their old $30 price right now.

Check first of the jack accepts audio input (Sp4 headphone jack does).
Plug in a wired cellphone ear buds with Mic, check in sound settings, mic section.
...
Else, try https://www.amazon.com/Extrasensory-Devices-ESDHW011-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B006T65CXE/
Absolutely wrong. The Makers4Good Rockit has one plug and two jacks. One jack is the headphone output, and the other is the mic input. The input is mic level, so you have to knock the other output way back, but it works on all my iPads.
You can still use your wired headset with something like this which will combine the two outputs into a single 3-pole connector that should work with your PS4.

So your microphone has a mono 3.5mm plug? In this case, you'll need something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Extrasensory-Devices-ESDHW011-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B006T65CXE/
You might be able to find cheaper alternatives on amazon, ebay, etc.
Edit: In the following, everything I said about a 1/4" TRS balanced connection applies to XLR connections as well unless you know for certain it is wired as an unbalanced connection. You still want a 1/4" TS unbalanced connection at the mixer.
It may be a misunderstanding of how cables work. You are used to TRS cables being stereo. The only stereo jack likely on your mixer is the headphone jack. If you connect a TRS 1/4" cable into the mixer, the mixer will assume it's a balanced mono connection. Due to the way this works, it can virtually eliminate that signal going in.
The connection going into the mixer needs to be a 1/4"TS unbalanced cable. You can use a 1/8" TRS stereo to dual 1/4" TS Y cable/splitter or a 1/8" (either TS or TRS) to 1/4" TS mono unbalanced cable. I am betting the interference rejection is eating your mono out from the iPhone.
Speaking of iPhone connections. Have a look at the Rockit adapter.
http://www.amazon.com/Extrasensory-Devices-ESDHW011-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B006T65CXE/
I usually use a Tascam iXZ myself but the Rockit is cheaper.
To reiterate, you cannot connect your iPhone or any normal (non mixer/audio gear) device to a mixer with a TRS cable unless it supports balanced connections.
Let me know if I guessed wrong with your setup.
!
Are you trying to record a phone? or a PS4/Xbox One controller? Either way you'll need something like this Splitter. Look at the bottom picture it has examples of plugs and what kind of adapter you need. But you'll need this to start with then you can use adapters to send out the stereo audio out to the mixer. The only thing is it will only capture the game sound and friends talking but not you (if you're using a PS4/Xbox One controller). If you can fill in more details of what you're trying to capture I might be of more help.
There are different lav types so it depends. I would wager a Rockit would work for you but it depends.
http://www.amazon.com/Extrasensory-Devices-ESDHW011-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B006T65CXE/
This supposes you don't have to power it among other things.

For the iPhone I would suggest a Rockit adapter
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006T65CXE
and a couple 1/8" to 1/4" TS cables to hook it up to the mixer. You will have to do a mix minus to the iPhone (via one of the Aux Send/FX Send ports). Note I don't use this though I own it and know it works with IOS devices well. I use a Tascam iXZ for the same purpose.
As for getting the Skype into and out of the mixer, you have the option of using a pair of 1/8" to 1/4" TS cables via a Mix Minus on the other Aux Send port into your computer's sound card. If it's a Mac with a single analog port you can use another Rockit adapter.
I personally would suggest using a Behringer UCA222 (or UCA202, different color) USB sound device instead, though. It uses line level RCA in and out plugs and will be less problematic. You would need at least one RCA to 1/4" TS cable for in and one for out (Skype is mono).
Call Recorder would record your Skype call with you and the iPhone in one track and the Skype caller in the other.
You would use two 1/4" (TRS would be best but TS would work) cables from the mixers main mix out to the line level inputs at the bottom of the TASCAM DR-40 in the combo ports. Again, at best, one channel would have two people and one channel would have a single person and you would edit the files elsewhere.
I'd really suggest the UCA222 instead of the analog audio port. Also, cheaper USB sound cards are problematic on the Mac, trust me.
Let me know if I'm unclear.
!
haven't tried it because I have the non-retina 15 mbp, but i looked into it because i almost got the 13. let me know if you try it and it works!
For example, the Rockit adapter would let you plug in headphones as well. I've bought a few of these.

I got the idea from here https://support.sudomemo.net/cleanaudio/ and theres this Adapter that lets you do it but I was seeing if there was a way to do it without spending $11 on it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006T65CXE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_NE141XY52ZVH5505DZGH
Assuming that you're plugging into a 3.5mm TRRS (smartphones and laptops), you could try using something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Makers4Good-ESDHW011-Headphone-Microphone-Splitter/dp/B006T65CXE
I love the N700. I think it's the best sounding wireless headphone on the market, and I've owned almost all of the high-end ones at one point or other. It's comfortable, portable, and can be used in just about any situation. There's no shame in using Bluetooth. I have my IER-Z1R and Viento CIEM connected to truly wireless adapters and haven't been happier. There was a time when BT sounded like crap; however, I think it was more because of the shitty DAC/amp implementations vs the actually quality of the digital stream itself.
It's like that for a lot of things. Look on Amazon for the Rocket which is a TRRS adapter/splitter.

What kind of split cable?
something like this should work..
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006T65CXE
The thing is regular audio splitters don't generally have the right connectors for the cell phone side.
Neglecting the why would you want to do this, I plugged my iPhone 7 Plus into my Zoom H6 via the Lightning to 1/8" adapter that came with it and a 1/8" TRS to 1/4" TS (this is the important end) cable and could record the playing iPhone. In this configuration, I confirmed that the iPhone's built-in microphone was still active and the default path for audio to get into the iPhone, say for a phone call or Skype.
Now, I personally use a Tascam iXZ to attach an iPhone to a mixer or interface.
Edit: This is mine though I would need the Lightning to 1/8" adapter for my 7 Plus. I usually use my spare line, instead.
http://i.imgur.com/TcXZEjy.jpg
A Rockit adapter also works
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006T65CXE/
Not all the alleged telephone adapters will work. I believe there is an iRig HD (edit: or is it the iRig 2? This is why I use the Tascam) that will also work but I don't own one.
You could also use a TRRS to three RCA video cable like this
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007V6JCK/
but be aware red is the mic and yellow is right channel. You would need RCA to 1/4" TS adapters
Also, be aware that anytime you connect a consumer device to professional gear, you want the 1/4" connection to be TS unbalanced instead of TRS.
Edit: The POTS (plain old telephone service) sucks for quality, btw. FaceTime Audio is great and if you call a supported VoLTE or HD Audio cell phone, that can sound great as well. POTS is something like 3.5 to 5 kHz maximum on the frequency response.

something like this might do it ; https://www.amazon.com/Extrasensory-Devices-ESDHW011-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B006T65CXE
or a cable like this; https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-headsets-separate-headphone-microphone/dp/B004SP0WAQ/
basically i think it will be nearly impossible to find a direct cable that feeds headphone into microphone for that kind of setup, but these devices break out your mic jack so you can just use a normal patch cable that comes from a headphone jack
EDIT1; it looks like both those would only give you a mono input signal, though, so not sure how important stereo recording is, i think it would be easier to just do the recording using an old(that is to say even an older one would be up for the task) laptop or desktop that has a proper sound card that will allow for stereo input. then just transfer the music to your phone digitally
EDIT2; if you really wanted to do a proper job a device like this would do it; https://www.amazon.com/Behringer-UCA202-BEHRINGER-U-CONTROL/dp/B000KW2YEI would take audio straight into a computer via usb
Maybe needs a headphone/microphone splitter?
You need something like this.
People have been complaining that Pamela is currently broken. I'm on Mac and Ecamm's Call Recorder is fine. PC people may have different suggestions. Most record into their own two channels for local and remote.
http://www.ecamm.com/mac/callrecorder/
I have an iPhone wired into my interface using a Tascam iXZ though a Rockit adapter is less expensive. Many other adapters out there that don't work on IOS depending on your device.I know these two are IOS/Mac friendly.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006T65CXE/
These need to be set up as a mix minus.
!
It would be much easier and cheaper to buy a pair of in ear headphones with a microphone already there, but for your situation I think you will need some kind of splitter that is able to split the audio port into seperate audio and mircophone jacks.
I don't know where to get one, but this is close to what you would need: http://www.mycablemart.com/store/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=6022&gclid=CMz77sjL0dECFYE8gQodctUDzQ
Edit: I think this might work, I'm not sure: https://www.amazon.com/Extrasensory-Devices-ESDHW011-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B006T65CXE
The issue is that the perfect headphones for him would likely be ATH-M40x/M50x but no inline mic, unless you get a modmic and this https://www.amazon.com/Extrasensory-Devices-ESDHW011-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B006T65CXE
The only way is to get this https://www.amazon.com/Extrasensory-Devices-ESDHW011-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B006T65CXE
The iRig HD is a Lightning port adapter, right? Many things don't support Lightning audio.
I use a Tascam IXZ ($50) that plugs into the TRRS headphone jack and it works fine with all audio needs. There are iRig devices that use the same TRRS connector but there are so many different iRig models I never choose one.
The Rockit adapter
https://www.amazon.com/Extrasensory-Devices-ESDHW011-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B006T65CXE/
and some TRRS to RCA video cables
https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-C3M-105-Camcorder-Cable-5-Feet/dp/B000VCY5RQ/
also work well (yellow is right out and red is mic in though) but I trust my iXZ at this point.
Edit: Be aware that when you hook these up to an interface/mixer you want TS unbalanced cables for the most part unless you are sure a connector supports balanced TRS cables. My iXZ mic input supports TRS balanced cables for example but the output is a stereo connector so the mixer end(s) need to be TS.
!
You just need to get something like this. I'm sure you can find a cheaper one though, that's just the first thing I found for demonstration purposes.
I use an iPhone with a Tascam iXZ adapter plugged into my interface or mixer. Never had an issue with it. There are cheaper adapters like the Rovkit that hook up to IOS devices or others that work with most android devices.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006T65CXE/
I have one of these but I had issues once. Might have been a cable issue though. Note IOS devices are wired slightly differently than most Android devices.
I can also, though have not yet used my Mac and FaceTime Audio and the Ecamm FaceTime Call Recorder. Skype can work as well.
http://www.ecamm.com/mac/callrecorder/

I don't understand what exactly you are trying to set up but a Y-adapter like this basically gives you the same ports you have on a PC, one for speakers and one for mic.
RingR
is a pay solution that provides VOIP and recording on each side of the conversation via a free app and emails you a link to download the tracks and a mixed version. It was free during beta and will be a pay service. The apps work on IOS and Android.
You can wire an iPhone to a mixer with a Rockit adapter.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006T65CXE/
Android phones use a different TRRS standard and work with different cables.
http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-headsets-separate-headphone-microphone/dp/B004SP0WAQ/
!
I'd get one of these so you don't have to limit yourself when it comes to choosing a good headset!
http://www.amazon.com/Extrasensory-Devices-ESDHW011-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B006T65CXE
I record iPhones with a couple things. A Rockit adapter.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006T65CXE
Most android and other devices have the mic input on the second ring and the sleeve being ground which is swapped on iPhones. You would use something like this for the same purpose.
http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-headsets-separate-headphone-microphone/dp/B004SP0WAQ
This converts the TRRS connection into two 1/8" connections (the output a stereo connector, the input a mono connector) that you can then feed into a mixer or interface.
You can use some video RCA cables to TRRS connector as well but you have to know the pinouts.
I have been using a Tascam iXZ to do move of my recordings.
http://www.amazon.com/TASCAM-iXZ-Instrument-input-iPhone/dp/B005NZ05J8
This was the best thing that reliably worked for me but the Rockit has been reliable as well.
All these let you hook many things directly to a mixer, input and output. You could just have the output via a 1/8" to 1/4" cable into the mixer and you just talk to the phones mic. Can't do a mix minus this way but for a one on one call it would work and the recording would be high quality.
!
I use this as my laptop has the same configuration. http://www.onemoregadget.com/wiretap-and-rockit-are-headphone-splitters-with-smarter-capabilities/
http://www.amazon.com/Extrasensory-Devices-ESDHW011-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B006T65CXE
You can get cheaper ones. Just splits it like it would have been on a laptop. Probably your cheapest option.
You will need to use splitter, like this one, to connect microphone with 3pin jack.
yeah, i think there is. i'll try to find the one i saw previously, but this is the closest i could find for now. it says it works with windows but i don't see why it wouldn't work on osx
