It appeared we knew everything about the upcoming iPhone 7. But might
we have to think again regarding its most controversial omission?
According to credible Japanese site Mac Otakara, Apple AAPL +1.15% had a last minute change of heart and decided it will include a headphone jack on both the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus.
In this site’s own words:
“At Computex Taipei 2016, many
manufacturers showcased their new Lightning audio adaptors, and it seems
there has been rumors that the headphones to be included with the new
iPhone 7 series will still come with its own headphone jack as usual,
and that a Lightning headphone jack adaptor will also be included in the
package.”
Interestingly, Mac Otakara also backs up the recent talk of a second set of speakers
being added to the top of the phone. The site claims this will be a
“monaural system” – aka single channel mono, as opposed to stereo
output.
Lastly it also reiterates that 256GB
is likely to be the new top of the range storage system, though
hopefully the biggest consequence of this would be finally putting the
base level 16GB option out to pasture in favour of 32/128/256GB tiers.
Fingers crossed.
My take? My own sources have not heard
news of an Apple headphone jack U-turn, but given the company tests
multiple variants of its upcoming iPhones each year it can’t be ruled
out that models with and without the headphone jack are still being put
through their paces.
That said Apple must be close to a
decision. iPhones sell at such a scale that production needs to be
ramped up 2-3 months in advance, which is right about now. As such I
suspect the supply chain links which will inevitably appear next month
should give us a definitive answer.
Personally I hope Mac Otakara is
right, but even if the headphone jack is kept for the iPhone 7 I can’t
see it remaining when the far more radical iPhone 8 appears next year… / Source
