The next-generation iPhone may be missing the familiar 3.5-mm headphone jack, according to the Japanese resource Mac Otakara citing its own sources. Instead of the headphone jack Apple offers Lightning.
It is reported that the lack of 3.5mm connector will reduce the thickness of the new iPhone more than one millimeter, compared with the iPhone 6s. Users can still use the headphones with a standard plug, but it will require an adapter. Also, you can use Bluetooth-headset.
The lack of a 3.5mm connector to the new iPhone is that Apple will have to release a new headset Ear Pods with plug Lightning and DAC. It will be bundled with smartphone, and will be sold separately. Ear Pods headset with a standard 3.5-mm plug will also remain on sale.
Note that even at this time, some manufacturers have released plug earphones with Lightning, for example, Sony MDR-1ADAC or Philips Fidelio M2L. Related Products :
