- Apple reportedly 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, Forbes reports citing credible Japanese site Mac Otakara.
In Mac Otakara’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."
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 favor of 32/128/256GB tiers, Forbes says.
