There is a rumor going around
time aboutof the next iPhone 7and Apple's desire to
return your smartphoneeven finer. However, gain in finesse
would require some sacrifices that the apple company would be ready to make.
The Japanese site Macotakara, generally rather reliable regarding
iPhone specificities, understands that Apple could opt for a solution
drastic step of doing without the headphone jack.
A rumor regarding a thinner case for the iPhone 7 has already been made
entendre
at the beginning of September. This seems to be confirmed by the sources of
site. We can see it clearly when looking at an iPhone 6 in profile, it's the headphone jack
which should limit the gain in finesse if there is to be a gain. Like this one
is standardized (3.5 mm jack socket), apart from rethinking it as sometimes seen in
Apple research and patents, the simplest way to eliminate the constraint is
to eliminate the catch.
We have already seen it, the apple firm has shown in particular on its line of
MacBook, the sacrifices she is willing to make to move forward
towards its objective. This was the case of theremoving the CD player from the
MacBook Airto gain finesse, or even the choice to delete
USB ports on the latest 12-inch MacBook. Finally, we
will remember the choice at the time that was daring tonot to bear the
Flashon the iPhone from 2007.
Apple does not hesitate to achieve thiskind of choice
counter-current.
On the other hand, while the design of the latest iPhone 6s and 6s Plus has not
not been modified,iPhone 7 should get a makeoverand
significant modifications externally as well as internally, as is the case for
the phone to the apple every 2 years. On this occasion, Apple could also
continue its effort to make the iPhone more water resistant like this
seems to have been the case with the 6s series. Removing the headphone jack would eliminate
an opening, a source of potential water entry which could then
disappear.
To compensate for the absence of a headphone jack, the solution could involve two
possibilities offered to users. The first mentioned in the source
concerns a connection to the lightning socket. We can consider an adapter
which would then have a jack socket for headphone fans
wired. But the trend is also towards wireless headphones via Bluetooth.
The Apple Watch is a very good example; Apple has chosen to equip it with a
music playback capability that can only be used with wireless headphones.
