There's been a lot of hype for the upcoming iPhone 7, and there are many questions about what new technologies it will have. But for now, let's focus on what it won't have.
Rumors say that Apple will be replacing the headphone jack with new speakers. While that will make the phone bigger, some Apple fans are indignant. Some Beats headphones Apple sells needs a headphone jack, and then now what? Their headphones will be rendered obsolete. Is it worth it for a thinner phone? Apple says yes.
Apple may use stereo sound to create a richer audio experience, but that won't be helpful for people on the bus or working in cubicles. You can't just blast music in there!
Apple's design standards for iOS are "Deference", "Clarity" and "Depth". While cutting down the iPhone's thickness may bring deference, clarity and depth Apple needs to realize that people want their headphone jack. They don't need another centimeter cut off the thickness. They want something they can use to listen to their jams.
What do you think? Do you think Apple should remove the headphone jack? Vote in our poll.
