WHY WOULD APPLE DITCH THE HEADPHONE JACK?
Getting rid of the headphone jack would help Apple shrink the iPhone 7's thickness considerably.
Its latest smartphone, the Phone 6s, is 7.1 mm (0.27) thick but removing the 3.5mm jack could drop this by a further by one mm (0.04 in).
Such a shift would also mean larger, stereo headphones using an internal battery would be able to draw power directly from the iPhone - or other devices, if the change is enforced across the Apple board.
Elsewhere, Lightning-based headphones would experience less 'crosstalk', or signal interference.
It is expected that Apple may also sell a converter that would allow users to plug in their 'old' standard 3.5 mm headphones to newer phones.
