While a USB-C headphone/power/data jack might allow slimmer devices or more internal space for other stuff, it also means your headphones could do much more than play audio. There have been hacks over the years such as the square credit card reader plugging into the current jack but what if you wanted your earphone to also be a heart rate monitor, give real-time feedback on noise near your ears so you could crank up noise cancellation or charge the device using solar panels in your hat. Once the connection includes data all kinds of things are possible.

I personally think losing the headphone jack is a good thing.  Think about what 
we could do with a digital out.  You could use your own digital to analog 
convertors so for example you could attach your iPhone to your Thor Audio DAC, 
you could support digital in for recording, we could start the whole pointless 
digital recording debate over again like we had in the DAT days:), no more 
quantization error when you want to sample because you can use the digital 
stream directly, as someone else said add censors and other features to the 
headphones, plug your phone in to a base in your home and it becomes part of 
the entire home system including environmental control, audio, video, and so 
forth.  I think there are a lot of upsides.

Yes but there’s no way that people will cry about a headphone jack.

Remember, Apple will include headphones.  99% of the consumers will not care 
how these headphones attach to their phone.  They know the headset is included 
and that’s as far as it goes.  Remember you’re thinking like an interested 
technically more advanced and involved user.  That’s not the norm.  If it just 
works nobody will care.  For folks who are a little more picky and want a 
better set of headphones, I put my self in this category, we’ll just get an 
adapter.  It makes absolutely no difference in my life or use case whether I 
plug a 8th inch jack in the base of my phone or a lightning connector.

I Beg2Differ if Apple's Sales continue to Plummet after TheReleaseOf its iPhone7 & iPhone7+ 
& iPhone7PRO, & Apple Lovers FlockTo either the iPhone6S & iPhone6S+ & iPhoneSE 
solely because those Apple MobilePhones contain HeadPhoneJacks, Apple will BowDown to ThePressure

Now, if Apple was still UnderSteveJobs Direction, I would Definitely 
AgreeWithYou, but it isn't it is UnderTimCook


Do you recall? SteveJobs sayin, " You can have any Color, So long as its Black."

first, once the headphone jack is gone, it’s gone, it’s not coming back.  
There’s no need for a headphone jack, the vast majority of users won’t care 
and the few that do will get over it because there will be lightning to 8th 
inch and quarter inch adapters I’m sure.  There’s way to much to gain by 
having a digital signal source to think about including a headphone jack.   You 
also have the huge space savings.  I know it sounds silly the sizes of jacks 
but when you’re fighting for millimeters everything counts.  Just a few 
millimeters may be the difference between processing power or radio features or 
new components not in place yet.  (extra camera needs room, etc.  I think the 
days of headphone jacks are numbered once a new standard is formed.  Will it be 
lightning, probably not but I could definitely see some sort of universal port 
that supports USB / audio / what ever instead of having a port for each 
function.  Maybe USB-C?

I'm curious HowMany People will OverLook the LackOf a HeadPhoneJack on either the 
iPhone7 or iPhone7+ (i.e., iPhone7PRO), & Give this iPhone a Chance.

OR

Will People SitBack & wait for Apple to ReIntroduce the HeadPhoneJack in another iPhone 
InTheFuture quite possibly the iPhone8 (because the iPhone7S & iPhone7S+ & 
iPhone7PRO will likely be the SameDesign as the 7)

Redmond Pie is reporting that a leaked iPhone 7 schematic appeared in a 
japanese magazine and confirms many of the rumors out there.  The iPhone 7+ 
also called the Pro will include dual cameras for stereoscopic vision, no head 
phone jack and a smart connector on the back.  Also appears to have a touch 
sensitive home button and a similar size to the iPhone 6s+.
