It's all due to Apple, which took the "courageous" step of eliminating the hole in the name of throwing stereo speakers into the iPhone 7$649.99 at T-Mobile, and, most likely, all future iOS (and Mac?) devices.

That leaves iPhone 7 customers with two selections if you need private audio. The smartest: get a set of Bluetooth headphones/earphones. That's arguably what Apple is pushing most-an untethered audio knowledge.

Nonetheless, there is certainly still the Lightning connector. Used mainly as the energy and information port, Lightning is already a pretty wonderful slot for obtaining audio to headphones and earphones. It's been utilized for speaker docks for years.

A handful of headphones that plug into Lightning are already available. Some include additional functions you couldn't get on a three.5mm headphone jack-like noise cancellation with out extra batteries within the headphones.
