The old adage that “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” could possibly be true about the new headphone port on the new iPhone 7
It has long been rumoured that in Apple’s search for perfection they couldn’t leave the port alone and are expected to ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack when they announce their new phone in September.
If you want to listen to music on the new device the options are somewhat limited – basically Bluetooth headphones or a pair of lightning connected headphones.
In theory this isn’t so bad as wired headphones do have their drawbacks such as the need to constantly untangle wires and the issues if you wear clothing without pockets.
In place of the 3.5mm headphone port, a series of new leaked images and a video claim that Apple will instead include a new Lightning Port adapter that can connect to a headphone jack in the box with the iPhone 7. (Image)
This isn’t a wholly new concept as manufacturer’s in China have seen phones use adapters for wired headphones and providing that Apple uses an adapter similar to these the new iPhone shouldn’t be *that* bad. Rumours also claims that the new adapter will not work on any device running iOS 9 or older.
