Of the novelties that are rumored to come with the iPhone 7, the one that is undoubtedly the most controversial is the elimination of the 3.5mm headphone port. The positive part is that by eliminating a connector that was born in the 19th century we can overcome the analog barrier and go on to listen to digital sound, but the bad thing is that the headphones we already have will not help us unless we buy a Lightning-Jack adapter like the ones that have already started to appear.
In my opinion it does not make much sense to launch them early but, as posted Macotakara, the accessories manufacturer Tama Electric It is already promoting three Lightning-Jack adapters, two of which include a micro-USB port to charge the iPhone while we are listening to music, something that, logically and if Apple has not thought of a similar solution, will be very necessary.

Currently, Tama Electric accessories do not show any prices and are not ready to ship yet, not to mention that they will not be MFi (Made For iPhone) certified. There are already Lightning headphones, but these adapters are the first to appear, which may be a clue to what seems like an open secret. The original rumor claims that Apple will remove the 3.5mm headphone jack and release a few EarPods Lightning, also offering Bluetooth headphones, perhaps the AirPods, which can be purchased at any Apple Store. What seems unlikely is that they will add an adapter like the ones from Tama Electric in the box, but we don't have to lose hope until the iPhone 7 is unveiled next September. If they do not include the adapter, we will also have to see at what price they offer it but, knowing Apple, it is most likely that it is best to buy an accessory from a third manufacturer.
