Vox:

It’s official: there won’t be a headphone jack in the iPhone 7. Instead, if you want to play music on an iPhone 7, you’ll either have to use wireless Bluetooth headphones or plug new Lightning-based headphones (or an adapter) into the port you use to charge the device.

The downsides are obvious: Almost everyone has headphones, speakers, and other gadgets based on the ubiquitous 3.5 mm headphone jack. Eliminating this connection could render these devices unusable, or at least force everyone to carry around an extra adapter.

But Apple doesn’t care.

This is the most controversial part of Apple’s announcements today. But they signalled, very clearly, that this is what they think the future will be. Keep this in mind when, next year, they offer wireless charging.
