Latest Leak Reveals iPhone 7 EarPods with Lightning

You may have to bid farewell to your traditional headphones if the latest iPhone 7 rumor holds true.

There's already been a heapload of leaks and rumors surrounding the iPhone 7, and one pertaining info leads up to the upcoming handset not having a 3.5mm headphone jack. While that's still absurd and all due to it being the standard, this is Apple we're talking about. Cupertino isn't one to be afraid of taking risks, and removing said standard could also be part of the equation.

If the latest round of leaks hold true, then the iPhone 7 could really have Lightning-based headphones instead of the traditional 3.5mm audio jack. The image comes from Weibo, which also has been a hotbed of leaks through its course. Check out the image below.

But of course, while there's a huge chance that this could be genuine, we have to take into consideration that it's still not official. Apple still hasn't given its word about these things, so it's best to take it with a grain of salt.

However, if it does ring some truth into it, then you can expect to shell out additional dongles to use your standard headphones. Cash grab? Maybe.
