Recently there are many rumors that Apple will cancel 3.5mm headphone jack on iPhone 7 and iPhone 5SE, so that the body become more thin, even with better water resistance, as well as support for wireless charging. The current Lightning interface will become a multi-card interface acts as charging, data synchronization and headphone jack.

While it’s easy to jump the gun, reference to this code does not mean the headphone jack will be gone in the next iPhone. We’ll wait for case makers and shell leaks to see if any visual proof may be available.

As expected, some Apple users are unhappy at the thought of the standard headphone jack disappearing in the next iPhone. An online petition started a while back has already surpassed 288,000 signatures.
