Apple EarPods with a Lightning connector spotted
The rumor mill expects that the iPhone 7 will not have a headphone jack, we've even seen schematics confirm it. But we still hadn't seen the other side of the equation - the headphones with a Lightning port.
Well, here's a photo of just such headphones. Nothing has changed really, the remote hasn't gained new features to justify the new port. It's just that these can't be plugged into non-Apple products (or old Apple products for that matter).
EarPods with a Lightning connector
The Lightning connector at the bottom seems bigger than the connector on Apple USB cables. Perhaps there's a bit of electronics in there? And it's rounded, while official Apple cables are squared off, so this could be a third-party product.
Earlier, we saw an adapter from Lightning to 3.5mm jack, which could bring your old-school headphones to the new iPhone. Either way, expect some pricey new headphones to hit the market (Apple does own Beats).

The shade of white of the earpods(seems old) does not match the shade white of the connector.. I believe this is a fake

I strongly believe its fake. Because even if they go for LP headphones, they will not make the LS port jack that big.
