Smartphones iPhone, starting with the first model, released in 2007, was equipped with standard 3.5 mm audio Jack for headphones. However, the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus may be the last with this type of connection. According to informed sources, the iPhone 7, which will be released in September 2016, will be only one Lightning universal connector, which will be used for sound output.
This means that without special adapter to connect the headset with a traditional plug “mini-Jack” to the new iPhone, which will surely upset those who are used not to limit yourself to the capabilities of a regular headset.
In favor of the rumors about the lack of analog audio interface in the iPhone 7 says “spy” picture in the Network. Pchome Chinese website published a photo EarPods headphones equipped with a Lightning connector instead of the traditional 3.5 mm connection. Judging by the photos, the headset is virtually no different from the one that comes with iPhone 6/6s.
The market certainly very quickly react to rejection from the Apple 3.5 mm audio connector and corresponding models will appear in the range of all leading brands of audio equipment. However, the manufacturer would in any case be to equip the iPhone 7 with the appropriate headset.
It should be noted that the model of the headphones connected via Lightning already present in the model series of companies such as Philips, Sony, and Harman. At first, however, consumers who are not satisfied with the default headset, you will have to put up with limited choices and high prices.
Expect the official announcement of Lighting headset at the presentation tonight is not worth it. Apple plans to present iPhone compact SE, 9.7-inch iPad Pro and make several software announcements.
