Want USB on your iPhone? There’s an adapter for that

Oh, and should users prefer to pair them with a device that uses a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, they can pay an additional $50 for an extra cable.

While nothing has been confirmed yet, Apple stock does have a history of pushing for exclusivity: from their own Mac OS (incompatible with PC programs) to their Lightning charger cables, Apple products have always inhabited their own space in the world of gadgets – to the exasperation of many of their customers.

Audeze reports that they’re capable of being driven by “a wide variety of portable players and headphone amps”, with an impedance of 30 ohms and SPL of 130 dB, and have a wide frequency response of 10 Hz to 50 kHz and less than 0.1 percent total harmonic distortion (at 1 kHz, 1 mW). The company has also created a companion app that allows users to customize specific sound presets for the device, and the built-in microphone used for making phone calls also supports Siri.

The iPhone 7 features may also include a Lightning connector to replace the current 3.5 mm headphone jack. By removing the headphone jack, Apple could theoretically make its devices thinner and allocate more space to a display, batteries or other electronics.

According to N4BB, one of the rumors is that Apple might lose the Lightning port and go for a USB-C port instead. Plus you continue to get the benefits of the special planar magnetic driver derived from Audeze’s top-of-the-line LCD Series headphones.

Not that kind of complication would likely bother Apple. So far, here are the latest Apple iPhone 7 Specs, possible Release Date, and rumors including no headphone socket and different charging port. For years I have found the Eye-Fi SD card options to be stellar in transferring photos quickly and securely to my iPhone for editing and sharing.

Only time will tell what surprises Apple has in store for 2016.
