Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller said ditching the 50-year-old jack comes down to “courage to move on to something new”. As expected, the devices will use the lightning connector as an audio output and will ship with a pair of lightning EarPods.

Those of you who want to buy an iPhone 7 in the United Kingdom will have to spend £599 for the base iPhone 7 and £719 for the equivalent iPhone 7 Plus.
At the very least, Apple would like you to purchase an iPhone 7, to have an Apple Watch Series 2 on your wrist, and to be wearing AirPods in your ears. Not only will the consumers have to buy the AirPods, but they are ridiculously expensive at $159 a set.
The best part of the new status quo is that Apple’s cut down on costs as well, so you’ll be getting more storage at a reduced rate.
The iPhone 7 camera has a 12MP sensor with upgraded low-light capture technology. The jet black option is also the one that’s most widely advertized on Apple’s home page and serves as the hero image for the new flagship.
Apple has revealed wireless versions of its ubiquitous white headphones during a presentation today, when its latest iPhones were also unveiled.
It’s still possible to use wired headphones with the new model, but to do so users may need to use an adaptor that plugs into the phone’s lightning port.
Neither of the new smartphones models will come with a traditional headphone jack, as a space-saving measure.
Apple’s 12.9-inch iPad Pro is now available at $799 (32GB), $899 (128GB), and $999 (256GB). As a result, I am recommending investors short Apple for the first time. They can also still be used to talk to Siri, featuring internal microphones that actually block out background noise, making your voice easier to hear. Pre-orders will be accepted starting tomorrow. Because you know, it doesn’t matter as long as it has the Apple logo on it.
