Among the many iPhone 7 rumors [1] circulating, there's one that has been sparking much debate: the removal of the headphone jack. In fact, an increasing number of sources [2] have been confirming this change.

Before you completely decide not to upgrade for this next release, Apple does plan to compromise with customers. "According to a new research note from Deutsche Bank, Apple's upcoming iPhone 7 will ship with a Lighting to 3.5mm dongle, thereby making the transition much more seamless," reported BGR [3]. A leak from 9to5Mac also confirmed this possibility [4]. This will allow consumers to continue using their 3.5mm-jack friendly headphones, instead of having to buy Bluetooth ones or new Lightning port headphones.

If that is the case, maybe we will upgrade. Touché, Apple.
