Apple want to DITCH its earphone jack to make a THINNER phone

In a report that will most likely make music lovers (so, practically everyone) unhappy, Apple are planning to get rid of the earphone jack in hopes to make the device thinner. 

According to Macotakara, (who have made many correct predictions in the past) have said that Apple is removing its 3.5 mm headphone jack from its next generation iPhone. Instead, the iPhone 7's Lightning connector would be used to attach headphones.

This change would allow Apple to to reduce the phone's thickness by about 1 mm, compared to the last iPhone 6S.

BUT the shift would also mean that Apple customers will be forced to use new headphones, which will be bundled with the iPhone 7 or get an adapter to connect older devices, according to the report. Using Bluetooth is also an option (which just sounds like a whole lot of effort).

Lightening connector headphones are already available rom Phillips, but you'll have to wait until October 2016 for the iPhone 7.
