Apple will remove the headphone jack on the iPhone 7

The iPhone 7 begins to become the center of all the digs that we will find from now on, it seems that it gives a lot to talk about, like every two years with the renewed design of the iPhone. The last one comes to us from the Japanese portal called makotakara that ensures something that is not entirely crazy but that can piss off more than one consumer. Apple is considering removing the 3,5mm jack from the iPhone to achieve a 1mm reduction in thickness compared to the iPhone 6s. Meanwhile, the shape of the screen and the radius of the device will remain the same as currently, so the design will not be excessively renewed, which will be thinner and lighter, like each version so far.

The result is that wired headphones can only be connected through the Lightning port, considerably reducing the number of wired headphones that we can use. As we well know, the Lightning connection has many possibilities, including sending audio and video. The current iPod Touch is already 1mm thinner than the iPhone 6s, but it seems impossible to achieve such extreme thinness in a device as complete with hardware and with so many components as the iPhone, therefore it seems that the 3,5mm jack is going to be the clear loser in this battle.

Nokia and other brands have already tried it with the 2,5mm jack that they tried to impose without merit, since it did not become a standard, so changing to the 2,5mm jack would not bring any benefit in terms of using the Lightning, because you would still have to use adapters. Apple already introduced headphones with a Lightning connection last year, although they have not become excessively popular, it seems that this alternative could change the future of current MFi headphones. So, the iPhone 7 would bring in its box some Ear Pods with Lightning connector, although they could already be ported and include a Bluetooth headset.

    Totally agree that bluetooth headphones could be carried and included. For what we pay for an iPhone, they might as well include them. In addition, I suppose we would get used to it, but it would seem like a step back to me not being able to charge my mobile while listening to music or watching videos (I am very much into using portable batteries).

    I do not think it is a good idea, I connect the phone to other equipment by means of a jack and I do not want to carry an adapter I think no one asks for a thinner mobile anymore, we have already reached the point that they are so thin that they are uncomfortable. Make a survey, recover the lost millimeters adding more autonomy

    It's a stupid idea. Sacrificing the headphone port FOR 1 MISMILLIMETER thick, no one asked for it ...
    Amen, I'm sure that nobody would care for a thicker phone, with more autonomy; We have never asked to carry a paper in our pocket, which can also slip from our hands more easily ...

    What is a "dig"?

    How about you use the spell checker?

    Is anyone that. They do not do it to save anything. They do it so that we only buy original Apple headphones, we could no longer connect or the music equipment, just like the charger you can not use another.

    Please change the headline ... it seems that Apple has officially said, say at least delete ....

    Well, they could make up for listening to music and charging it with wireless fast charging.

    This will happen if the iPhone is charged wirelessly
