Na33m, 07 Aug 2016I don't know who the hell decided to omit headphone jack...... moreIt was all over when steve jobs died. As simple as that.

    Anonymous, 07 Aug 2016and how much it cost to similar performence wired headphone?There will be no performance increase, whether its a 3.5 mm headphone jack or Lightning port the digital music will be converted into analog. Like normal headphones, it all depends on the quality of headphone you will purchase.

                  AnonD-450518, 07 Aug 2016It's absolutely fantastic, I'm all for Lossless audio. I ho... moreLossless audio still needs to be converted from digital to analog so it is far better if that is done in the phone itself than in the, often cheap, headphones!

                    80% of iphone users have 16 gb models totally empty, no media, no songs, because of the tricky itunes files transfer procedure, very hard to use for many people. They listen ocassionally from youtube. And 90% of iphone users are so indoctrinated, that they use apple headphones no matter what. If they broke, they buy another pair of original apple headphones, no matter at that price of 20 $ they could get better headphones from Panasonic or Sony. So Apple did a smart move for their blind customers

                      Ok, that it! As an Apple fanboy I'm really pissed at Apple. I have iPhone 6 and was planning to buy iPhone 7 but after reading rumours I don't think there will be wireless headphones, wireless charging like features.
                      It's better to buy S7 Edge or new Note, can't give this much price for just software with zero hardware features! I hope I don't regret after switching from Apple :(

                          It's absolutely fantastic, I'm all for Lossless audio. I hope more Android devices will join the LeEco & Motorola example, like to see third party headphones & bluetooth earphone manufacturers adopt the lighting & Type C connector ports.

                                        Apple can't even design one better looking phone in a year....shame!

                                        But the funniest thing is it's still gonna break all the sales record of apple when it comes out
