Apple To Make The Next iPhone Without Headphones Jack

iPhone is set to make an iPhone that will do away with the famous headphones jack that we have come to be familiar with.
According to Japanese Apple blog Mac Otakara, via Apple Insider, the company might ditch the traditional 3.5-millimeter audio jack in the next iPhone because it's too wide.


It is speculated that iPhone 7 would be 1 millimeter slimmer than the iPhone 6s and thus, it would be impossible to make a smartphone so thin with the headphone jack still as it is.

An alternative to plugging headphones into a the normal port is plugging it into the slimmer charging port of the phone.

Now we may wonder, how will the headphones be connected to the charging port and still produce the desired output?

The same Mac Otakara report suggests that Apple's earbuds that come with iPhones and iPods, called "EarPods," could take on Apple's Lightning connector instead of a 3.5-millimeter plug. And since music coming through the Lightning port from an iPhone would be digital instead of analog — like it is from a 3.5-millimeter connection — the EarPods would have a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) built into their Lightning plugs.

Certainly there are considerable point of concerns raised, like how charging and listening to music at the same time will be done, how would it be designed so the headphone does not draw power from the iPhone, how slimmer it will be and so many other issues. Just how it will materialize  soon be known...
