The headphone jack ...
This decision has several implications. The first, to connect a wired headset, it will likely go through the Lightning port, introduced in 2012 with the iPhone 5. However, the headphones you currently own will not necessarily be obsolete. According to the sources of the US magazine, Apple may provide a serial adapter (Lightning to the 3.5 mm jack) with its iPhone.
Also according to Fast Company, the presence of this accessory avoid Apple to provide a series of Lightning headphones with his smartphone. A first...
However, Apple does not abandon the idea of offering their own headphones. The source of Fast Company explains that Apple engineers would work well with Cirrus Logic, longstanding partner for audio chips to integrate noise reduction technology in the phone and also in Apple headphones. Lightning wired headsets that could eventually be sold separately under the Beats brand.
Furthermore, noise reduction technology could be accessed by third-party manufacturers Lightning headphones, provided they pay a license to integrate the audio process to their material.
Two other important news
Fast Company reports that Apple might also introduce two new features in its iPhone 7. The first is the ability to recharge by induction. Two arguments in favor of this adoption. First, Apple has already mastered the technology for its Watch. Second, in early 2015, two groups of opposing interests (LDCs A4WP) in promoting wireless charging signed a merger agreement. Which should facilitate the integration of these techie to Apple.
The second new feature that Apple could present is the sealing. The iPhone 7 could be the first smartphone from the company headed by Tim Cook to be able to avail of this feature, even if the iPhone 6s and 6s have made more progress in this direction. If the rumors say true, the Galaxy S7 from Samsung, should be too.
We obviously do not know if all these elements find a place in the final version of the iPhone 7. One thing is certain, while iPhone sales seem to falter a little, Apple will have every interest in hitting hard with this new model.
