Instead of a headphone slot, it will now come with earphones that fit into the phone’s lighting port, currently used for charging and data transfer.

There has been some confusion as to which headphones you actually get in the box, so let’s clear this up for you.
The iPhone 7 Plus screen is 5.5 inches (14 centimetres) with a dual-lens camera. “This is iPhone 7”, Apple chief Tim Cook told an audience of thousands of industry insiders and reporters at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. The Cupertino-based Apple has upgraded the storage versions of the previous iPhone models.
SAN FRANCISCO – Apple unveiled an iPhone 7 with high-resolution cameras and no headphone jack at its annual launch event Wednesday, though the biggest surprise was the debut of a three-decade-old Nintendo game franchise, Super Mario Bros, on the smartphone. The 128GB iPhone 7 is £38.45 a month and the 128GB iPhone 7 Plus is £44.45 a month.
To say that Apple’s AirPods are like nothing you’ve ever put in your ear before would be an understatement. An adapter will be included to use with wired headphones.
This is perhaps the source of the headphone confusion with the new iPhone 7. The site also commented on the similar battery life of each Series – 18 hours, according to Apple – but retained any in-depth opinions on the new Apple Watch for a future review. Other phones aren’t likely to get Nougat for a while because individual phone makers and wireless carriers have to tweak and test the new software first. To do that, Apple had to develop a new speaker that was able to cast out the water using vibrations once its wearer had done swimming. “And they get in the way when you’re exercising”. “AirPods are simple and magical to use, with no switches or buttons, automatically connecting to all your Apple devices simply and seamlessly, and letting you access Siri with just a double tap”.
What about Bluetooth on the iPhone 7?
Finally, Apple uses a proprietary design for its charging port, known as “Lightning”.
The iPhone 7 and the Plus version have launched in the USA as of now and will go on sale from September 16.
What about other Lightning headphones? And no headphone jack means that existing headsets won’t work with the new iPhones without an adapter.

A $49 dock doesn’t seem like the ideal solution for something you’d expect any modern smartphone to handle easily, but Apple is pushing ahead towards a wireless future and this is one of the many casualties along the way.
