You don’t need to carry around an adapter if you just pick up a pair of Apple Airpods for the neat low price of $159. The most noticeable thing in the iPhone 7 is that the antenna bands have been concealed on the back.

Unveiling the new iPhone last week, Apple showed that it had ditched the ubiquitous headphone jack for the smartphone.
You can also get the $99 iPhone 7 Smart Battery Case to extend the battery life of your iPhone 7 to over 20 hours. Also, yes, as John Gruber points out on Twitter, I mean a female headphone port, not a headphone jack.
Using the AirPods is presumably effortless, requiring only one tap to set it up with either the iPhone or the Apple Watch.
There are plenty of people already enjoying the benefits of wireless headphones – as well as being tangle-free, they use Bluetooth which is a much more common standard than Lightning, meaning they will be compatible with other devices. Although it can be used with non-Apple audio devices with Bluetooth capabilities, special features can only be accessed through Apple devices equipped with iOS 10, watchOS 3 or macOS Sierra processors. Whether you want to charge in the vehicle, on the go or at home, the Belkin adapter makes it possible to listen to Lightning Audio and power your iPhone, simultaneously.
The so-called “Airpods” will connect wirelessly to the iPhone 7. Maybe there will be a “Find my airpod feature” with the iPhone 7 also. The EarPods were very known to fall out of an ear thanks to Apple’s approach of ‘One size fits all.’ NO!
