Apple’s next iPhones will also come without the analog headphone jack that’s been standard on iPhones and most other electronic devices for years.

There was a pleasant surprise at Apple’s big event yesterday. In any case, Apple is making it possible to use both your old earphones and the AirPod on the iPhone 7.
If you want to use your current headphones with a normal headphone jack – called a 3.5 mm headphone jack in techspeak, you’ll need an adapter that will make it work with a Lightning Port.
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.
Apple has officially banished the iPhone 5S, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus from its website, so you’ll have to scrounge through third-party retailers to get your hands on any of them.
Instagram’s head of design, Ian Spalter, took to the stage to reveal that the new iOS app will take and share photos using the wider colour range captured by the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus’ image sensors. But on a more practical level, how exactly are you supposed to use headphones with an iPhone 7?
Though for those of you ready to embrace the now, there’s a great opportunity to spend even more money here. While the price of the larger 7 “Plus” edition, starts at $769.
It’s true. Apple has removed the headphone jack from the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. They are worth every penny, but also a a wired headset. This was on the global site but the changes were also reflected on the India site, leading to speculations that Apple has discontinued these phones. You have a couple options for just $40 to $49.
Interestingly, this solution won’t let you use lightning headphones while charging the phone since there’s only a single lightning port (which you use to charge the iPhone). To compensate for the ditching of the headphone jack, Apple also launched its Airpod earbuds or simply, Airpods.
