Of course, if you want to listen to your old 3.5mm “legacy” headphones, you’re going to need to use another adapter, which at least Apple ships in the box with the iPhone 7.

But you’ll still be able to buy them at Apple stores or from carrier shops on September 16 (while supplies last, of course). It’s similar to what Apple has done with a trackpad in a slimmer MacBook model previous year.
Change can be hard – and some people are having trouble coming to grips with the idea of Apple’s new wireless headphones, called AirPods.
These mini marvels were unveiled last night at the launch of Apple’s iPhone 7, when the tech firm announced a bold plan to push forward into a “wireless future”.
The company’s VP, Phil Schiller, said that Apple removed the headphone jack because it takes “courage” to do something new, and that there is indeed a huge amount of engineering work that has gone into the new headphones.
For starters, the iPhone 7 is likely to sell out.
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.
Even worse – if you shell out for the iPhone 7 plus, you only get an addition one hour’s battery life so it looks like you’ll be stuck with your external battery charging case for a while longer.
Beats, the Apple-owned headphone company, released three new pairs of wireless headphones yesterday that are created to work with the iPhone 7. Apple released its new iPhone lineup in two new colors much to the delight of its customers. So when you buy a 32GB iPhone 7 you’re essentially buying a 28GB iPhone 7.

So too is the new dual-camera array featured on the 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus. So will the selfies you shoot with the new 7MP front-facing camera. Pricing, which includes AppleCare+, starts at $32.41 for the iPhone 7 and $37.41 for the iPhone 7 Plus. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Apple had included wireless charging so you could do both at the same time? One appears to be at the bottom of the phone, while the other one is in the earpiece.
