Technology / iPhone New iPhone Tells Headphone Jack to Hit the Road Apple will unveil its new iPhone 7 on Wednesday By Michael Harthorne, Newser Staff Posted Sep 6, 2016 6:00 PM CDT Updated Sep 7, 2016 12:33 AM CDT Copied Enjoy your iPhone headphone jacks while you can, rumor has it they'll be history when Apple unveils the new iPhone 7 on Wednesday. (AP Photo/Richard Drew) Wednesday is new iPhone day, also known as tech-news Christmas. So here's what people are saying less than 24 hours before Apple unveils its new iPhone 7: The biggest news circling around the new iPhone is its lack of a headphone jack, opting instead for wireless headphones or headphones that plug into the charging port, reports the Wall Street Journal, which also notes Apple has caused a stir with port changes in the past. And Business Insider has a rumor that Apple won't even be using traditional Bluetooth technology for its new wireless iPhone headphones but is instead developing its own in-house tech. MacRumors reports on tidbits from Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst with a "very solid track record" predicting Apple products. He thinks the iPhone 7 will include five color options, better water resistance, two rear camera lenses, and more. Meanwhile, Mashable looks at 12 rumors swirling around the iPhone 7 and ranks them from most to least likely. The longest-shot features include a larger size, wireless charging, and a non-clicking home button. But Fortune reports not everyone is excited for a new iPhone. With few major changes to the iPhone's looks expected, Wall Street analysts are predicting lackluster sales. CNET counters that consumers shouldn't care what the new iPhone looks like for a very obvious reason: They're going to cover it with a case anyway. Finally, BGR notes that Apple very rarely announces just one product during its events. It believes the tech company could reveal some other stuff Wednesday, including a new Macbook Pro and the Apple Watch 2. (More iPhone stories.) Report an error
