iPhone 7 Rumors & Leaks: Apple May Drop Headphone Jack To Waterproof, Make Phone Thinner

The iPhone 7 is set to launch in the fall and the rumors are circulating wildly.

Reportedly, the body of the phone will look almost the same some small but distinct differences.

The camera will no longer be protruding. And at least on the iPhone 7+ there is talk about a dual-lens rear camera.

Also, the back will no longer have antenna bands, giving the phone a cleaner look.

There is some talk about the phone becoming thinner, but any change will be slight. The rumors about the elimination of the headphone jack though are increasing. Recent theories suggest that the removal of the headphone jack is not for slimming down the phone, but rather, to increase the screen-to-body ratio of the phone. Moreover, the elimination of the headphone jack would make the iPhone more easily waterproof, which Apple has been reportedly working towards. Nevertheless, these rumors have drawn such outrage that almost 300,000 people have signed a petition against it.

Following the wireless trend, there also some reports of wireless charging capabilities.

Of course, many of these rumors have been heard before and none can be confirmed until the new model is revealed in September.
