Another source claims iPhone 7 will be without headphone jack
It's becoming more likely that the iPhone 7 is not going to include the mainstream 3.5mm jack - the same jack that you use for your headphones, inline mics, speakers, etc. The possibility of this major omission first broke back in November and has been now been reinforced through another unnamed source. The headphone jack would be erased and all connected devices requiring the 3.5mm jack would have to have a Thunderbolt adapter to plug in.
With the next iPhone likely another eight months away from being announced, we are forced to take these reports with some skepticism. Apple won't talk about any of its plans this far ahead, but it's clear to see that killing off the 3.5mm jack would allow for the iPhone to be slimmer, possibly waterproof and offer more space for other components to grow (like a battery). This new source is sworn to be rock-solid and is adamant that the next iPhone is doing away with headphone jack. If so, how are iPhone owners going to feel about being forced to purchase an adapter to connect things like headphones, speakers and car stereos?

UZl I've heard many people at work and school freakin out over this, I say it would be cool to have wireless headphones come with it
I never really thought about them including wireless headphones with the new iPhone, but thinking about it now makes sense. I hope they include it.
But, they also talk about needing a thunderbolt adapter in the post above to plug things into it. So, I don't know about it...

If it were true, I would say Apple would have less sales on this compared to older iPhones. Nobody wants to carry 2 different devices, one for talking/texting and th eother for just music.

The source claims that Apple wants to remove the headphone jack to make the phone slimmer. But the thing is, is that the iPhone is slim as it is. But they want to make it slimmer? I know that this is just skepticism, but if this turns out to be true. Why worry about making it thinner? The current iPhone is thin enough, and the battery life isn't very good, considering the fact that the battery has to be so small, in-order to fit in the phone. So wouldn't taking out the headphone jack, just to make it slimmer be a bad idea? They would have to put a smaller battery inside the phone, and I would assume that the phone is gonna be more powerful than the current iPhone. So wouldn't battery life be even worse? Considering the fact that the battery would be smaller. I understand too, that they would most likely include some headphones with the phone that would fit into the lightning connector, and even include an adapter for 3.5mm headphones. But that would be a bad idea, having one connector for everything, is a bad idea. You wouldn't be able to charge while listening to music. I know that you could just use a bluetooth headset, but people don't want to have a wireless headset that you have to charge over and over again, just to use it. If this happens, I am switching to Android. #AndroidMasterRace
