Although the iPhone 7 wasn’t quite the drastic overhaul many were hoping for, there was one big change on this years model: the removal of the headphone jack.
Do you ever use the headphone port on your MacBook Pro with Retina display?
However, it also makes sense that fans of the laptop are getting impatient, considering that it has been a long time since Apple released any major MacBook Pro updates.
Moreover, according to MacRumors, Apple has been sending out surveys asking about MacBook Pro 2016 features, especially the headphone jack. Personally, I use the headphone jack on my iPhone far more than I do on my MacBook, so the results of this survey would be interesting to see. This survey hints that Apple may be considering removing the 3.5mm headphone jack from future MacBook Pros as well. Apple will possibly do away with other parts on the machine as well, such as the SD card slot, MagSafe connection, HDMI port or USB-A port, provided the shell is an actual part, notes Mac Rumors.
This reply is being analyzed by fans, who believe the Apple MacBook Pro 2016 will get an October release during the company’s technical event.
Apple is now surveying MacBook Pro users in phases about the usage and relevant of the headphone jack and other ports.
The MacBook Pro, up until now continued to offer users the convenience of USB type-C, FireWire, Thunderbolt as well as a standard audio jack. Should Apple remove the headphone jack from the MacBook Pro?

Similarly, several other users on Twitter have been asked similar questions regarding the headphone jack, indicating that the tech firm could be planning to dump the headphone jack in an upcoming version of the MacBook Pro. Compare to Skylake, Kaby Lake contains much powerful internal components for faster data processing and better battery life.
