The old adage that “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” could possibly be true about the new headphone port on the new iPhone 7. This isn’t the first time that we’ve seen Lightning EarPods shown off, but it’s the first time that we’ve seen them showcased in action on video. Some reports also claim the pair will be the first iPhones to use a waterproof case, which will be music to the ears of anyone who has accidentally dropped their smartphone in water.

It’s unclear what Apple’s plan are in terms of headphones in the box, though.
The video uploaded by EverythingApplePro on YouTube shows the lightning connected Apple earpods that will ship with the new iPhone.
In late June, we reported that images of what were reportedly Apple’s new Lightning-equipped EarPods leaked.
My guess is that if a wireless headphone solution is available, iPhone 7 users will have to pay a little bit extra for it. Removing the 3.5mm headphone jack is already a bold enough decision without additionally asking users to now delve into the world of wireless.
Alongside the growing speculation that the upcoming iPhone 7 will ditch the standard headphone jack are rumors that the device will be paired with a new type of Apple’s EarPod headphones that use a Lightning connector.
Adding to the wealth of iPhone 7 images and specifications that have been leaked ahead of Apple’s official launch, which is set to take place during September 2016. The iPhone Pro is rumoured to feature a dual rear camera with depth sensor.
