But although the Smart Connector technology on the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus seem to be a thing, many are still wondering what the technology is for.

The larger lens of the rear-facing camera on the iPhone 7 image indicates it will perhaps use a larger sensor, giving it improved camera capabilities despite the fact that it will not include the dual camera layout rumored for the iPhone 7 Plus. Catcher has also worked with Apple and Samsung in the past.
The blog further noted that the three dots located at the bottom of the alleged iPhone 7 Pro belong to the Smart Connector setup.
Otherwise, we’d be somewhat disappointed if the leaked image is legitimate. The site also claims that iPhone 7 Plus will come with a smart connector that will let you connect it to a smart keyboard just like the one in iPad Pro.
Nonetheless, the analyst thinks Apple’s latest smartphone offerings are responsible for pushing its iPhone installed base above 500 million at the end of calendar 2015, and overall connected Apple devices in excess of 1 billion users.
The report also suggests Apple will stick with a mono speaker, which means it won’t have the same stereo option included in the new iPad Pro tablets.
We have been hearing about Cupertino dismissing the 3.5mm headphone jack, which has been serving the iPhone since its inception back in 2007, for months now. While the iPhone 6 was 6.9mm thick and weighed 129 grams, the iPhone 6s is 7.1mm thick and 143 grams.
“The height and width of any smartphone is now determined by the size of the screen, so having a slimmer handset is now the key to making it more compact, and less bulky to slip into a pocket or bag”, said Al Bannai.
If Apple does decide to do away with the headphone jack port, nobody’s quite sure if Apple will bundle Lightning cable or Bluetooth powered headphones with the iPhone 7. Yet one needs to be aware that Apple could only be playing catch up with flagship android devices and once again prove be a copycat.
The LG G5 that was introduced in February this year features a dual-camera system.
