Quite recently we informed you of the fact that Apple's new product dubbed the Apple iPhone 7 Plus would house large inbuilt storage along with a large battery. Off-late another news is making rounds that state that Apple might ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack on its new product and might release wireless earphones instead. To add cherry on the cake, there is another new update in the market regarding the headphones, water-resistant design and wireless charging ability.
Though there is still no confirmation on the update, but recent reports by Fast Company reveals that the new iPhone model might ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack and will replace it with Lightning port for wired headphones. In the previous report it was stated that for users who do not wish to part from the 3.5mm headphone jack can use Lightning "convert up" provided by the company itself so as to allow headphones to be used with the Lightning connector. The new report added that Apple is working with Cirrus Logic to "adapt the audio chipset in the iPhone to work with the Lightning port."
Apart from the aforementioned news, the reports also mentiones that the audio system of the rumored iPhone 7 will come equipped with a noise-cancellation feature credit of which goes to UK-based company Wolfson Microelectronics, who now is a part of Cirrus Logic. Third-party manufacturers will have to buy a licence to use the software provided by Wolfson in their headsets. This software from Wolfson "will be backed into the phone and the headphones that plug into it."
Though there is a bit of uncertainity on the reports, but the same report by Fast Company also adds that iPhone 7 will have a waterproof design using the concept of nanocoating and might also feature wireless charging support. However, the report concluded that both of these features may or may not be implemented since Apple is known to ditch features almost at the last stage of the development process.
