Apparently, The iPhone 7 Won’t Have A Headphone Port

#1 Apple’s quest to make iPhones slimmer and slimmer could be about to claim a new casualty – the headphone socket.

Sources in Apple's supply chain claim that the upcoming iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus won't have a headphone socket at all, according to Chinese news sites.

#2 Instead, headphones will plug in via the Lightning connector – or connect wirelessly Bluetooth.

It's therefore expected that the new phone will come with a pair of wireless headphones we're predicting them to be called ‘AirBuds' or something even more ridiculous but this could mean that a lot of users would have to either upgrade their current headphones, or invest in a lighting-to-headphone adapter.

#3 Many people aren’t happy – in fact, there’s already a petition doing the rounds.

Some people (basically, me) are worried about the impact wireless/lightning port headphones might have on the charge and safety of their (basically, my) phones.

Because if they're wireless, headphones can no longer feel like a safety net for having your phone in your pocket in a public place.
