Photos: iPhone EarPods headphones with Lightning jack?

New photographs published on the
Weibo site, the equivalent of Chinese Twitter, are coming back to push the
highlight in favor of the absence of a jack on the next smartphone
from Apple. These are indeed images of what appear to be the next
EarPods, the headphones that could be delivered with the iPhone. And
particularity of the latter, they do not have a Jack socket,more
a Lightning jack, which corroborates some
recent rumors on the subject:

Evenif
clichés reassured recentlyall those who voted against the deletion
from the headphone jack as part of apetition
on the subject, it could well be that these photos, without being sources
verified, are indeed a model of the next Apple headphones supplied with
l’iPhone 7

We notice that the resemblance is striking with the current EarPods that we
found in iPhone boxes, with remote control, white color, shape of
earpieces, everything matches, except of course the plug, since it is in
in this case no longer a 3.5 mm jack socket, but a Lightning socket.

The advantage of removing the headphone jack, for Apple, would be the
possibility of having more space for other components, for the battery
for example, or for a
second speaker. The other interest would be to be able to gain
water resistance, although Samsung's latest Galaxy S7 with a plug
Jack,
is particularly resistant to liquids.

As with every rumor, all this should be taken with a grain of salt, nothing
will not be sure until the announcement made by Apple on the day of the presentation of the
new device.
