By now, everyone and their dog has heard the rumor – this year’s iPhones may not have a headphone jack. According to reports, Apple has declared war on the 3,5 mm connector in order to maximize the amount of free room inside its new handsets, presumably to fill it with more battery or with other parts that improve performance. At worst, it could be because Cupertino wants to make the phone even thinner, which is certainly going to be a polarizing reason.
Speculations have been rampant in the past few months – some believe that removing the headphone jack is an absolutely unacceptable move, while others would be prepared to take that drawback if Apple really compensates with something awesome, and gives us a good reason to have done away with the beloved connector.
