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.
Instead, headphones will plug in via the Lightning
connector – or connect wirelessly Bluetooth.
It’s expected the new phone will ship with wireless
headphones – but it would mean that ‘normal’ headphones wouldn’t work with the
handset.
If true, it would mean that millions of iPhone users
would have to upgrade their headphones, or use an adapter.
Many people aren’t happy – in fact, there’s already a
petition doing the rounds.
