Foreign media: IPhone 7 canceling 3.5mm headphone jack is expected

With regard to the iphone 7, there has been a recent rumor that the next iphone will no longer be equipped with a 3.5 mm headphone jack, citing the word "reliable insider" by Mac Otakara, a Japanese technology website. Instead, iphone users must use the Integrated lightning interface.

In fact, this rumor does not surprise me at all.

According to the report, the new lightning interface is the same size as the previous lightning interface, and the headset can be used through the interface, as well as the standard 3.5 mm headset compatible with the DAC adaptor. In other words, if you want to use a previous headset, you have to buy a switch plug, and Apple will certainly be willing to sell you such accessories.

Apple introduced the EarPods headset in September 2012, which was first released with the iphone 51 ($ 29 for a separate purchase). Now that the new iphone is released, the headset has been on the market for over 4 years.

What has Apple done over the past 4 years to convince outsiders that they will launch new headsets? Not much, I'm afraid. The company just bought Beats, launched Apple Music, and also opened the MFI licensing program, allowing some vendors to develop lightning-interface headphones.

From June 2014 onwards, third-party manufacturers have been able to use lightning interface to make headphones. But there are not many companies that use this technology in addition to Philips. However, the situation will change quickly once Apple removes the headphone jack.

Rumors also show that Apple plans to launch its own lightning interface Earpod, which may be shipped with the iphone 71. Eventually, Apple will discard the existing earpod when all the headset interfaces for all iOS devices are gone.

But I think Apple will also launch the Beats brand's lightning interface. Perhaps the product will not be launched in the iphone 7 era, but it would be a bit silly if Apple did not launch a high-end (expensive) headset that would be used with a new iphone.

If you still think it is unlikely, then I need to remind you of Apple's previous "actions". The company launched its iphone 5 o'clock in 2012, abandoning its previous 30-pin interface, instead using a smaller lightning interface.

This is sure to cause a lot of controversy, but Apple can use it to make the device thinner-from the current rumors that the IPhone 7 does. Removing the headphone jack means that the Lightning interface will have both a charging and audio output function--since the 3.5 mm headphone jack has become a standard configuration for all audio devices, this controversy will definitely be amplified further.

Therefore, the fruit powder will certainly be more angry. Not only will their original headphones not continue to be used on the new iphone, none of the existing headsets is nearly compatible with the new iphone.

However, this will not stop the iphone's pace. Maybe the iphone 7 won't do that, nor will the iphone 7s, but sooner or later Apple will kill the headphone jack. There have been precedents before, and the company has always had a tradition of simplifying interfaces.

Apple will definitely wipe out the 3.5 mm headphone jack, which is an inevitable trend.
