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?

TayIorKappaClaus Take away one of the biggest reasons people use an iPhone.. gj Apple
iPhone = Phone.
If you want to listen to music, go buy an iPod. If you use headphones for talking on the phone, start using it up to your ear, or speaker phone.
iPod = Music
Or, you combine the 2 and have a better product?
A phone without a headphone jack is completely pathetic. If Apple take it away, what utter plebians they are.
It's the one thing i use on my phone all day everyday.

BJPDeluxeHazard This is honestly another way for Apple to sell more Apple related products that are the only items compatible with their new products.
Apple Adapter probably £30 - £60 = Normally last 12 months (if not less)
Knock off £5 - £10 = Normally last 6 months
Apple are meant to be the designer brand but lets be honest 50% or more people own a iPhone in a MEDC. This means it takes anything special about owning an iPhone.
I like the idea of the phone being waterproof, slimmer etc like how the Mac Book only has a USB-C port but I just dont think you need to buy extra accessories to be able to charge the device and listen to music.
Knowing apple they will have a lightning to aux in the box you get with the phone.

Great logic. I guess I'm not allowed to stream movies on a PC, console, mobile device, or smart TV. I can only watch movies on the good ol' VHS.
