As the prophets foretold, Apple has put to death the headphone jack. 。
The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, launched at an event in California Wednesday, are the first iPhones without that familiar 3.5mm headphone jack. Instead Apple fanboys and girls will need to use Lightning-based headphones (called AirPods) that will come in the box with the new smartphone, or a Lightning-to-3.5mm headphone jack dongle to convert their old pair. 。
