The reality is that every new iPhone model is thinner than the previous tangible. For this reason, a new generation of “apple” smartphone can lose the traditional 3.5-mm audio jack.
Last week there was information about the upcoming market phone Vivo, the thickness of which was a record 3.85 mm. This unit is half as thick as the flagship of last year iPhone 5s. On the timing of the output device information yet, but we already know that it will not have a 3.5mm headphone port.
The thinnest smartphone today is Oppo R5. Unveiled last week, the unit has a thickness of 4.85 mm. Because of the desire to reduce the gadgets, the designers have also given up a standard audio jack. It is obvious that the same fate may befall the iPhone 7.
The original iPhone, released in 2007, had a thickness of 11.6 mm. iPhone 3G and 3G were slightly overall (12.3 mm), but the next generation of the iPhone 4 / 4s was much thinner – 9.3 mm. Released in 2012, the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s have become even smaller, their specifications indicate a thickness of 7.6 mm. Latest flagship Apple, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, demonstrate a record for “apple” handsets thickness 6.9 and 7.1 mm, respectively. From a certain point in Apple , which is desperately seeking to reduce the iPhone, will not be able to use the 3.5mm audio jack.
How then to listen to music? Obviously, with the release of the iPhone without the audio jack drastically increase sales Bluetooth-headsets. At the same time, Apple is all set to drop from 3.5-mm connector. The fact that the updated specification of proprietary digital interface provides the ability to use headsets with Lightning-connector .
At Lightning has many advantages over the usual audio jack, believe in Apple. This connection has a high bandwidth and provides higher quality sound. In addition, the specification allows you to connect via Lightning-port external audio devices that require power supply, for example a model with a digital signal processor, or with the support of active noise cancellation. Lightning connector also allows the headphones to receive a firmware update.
Headphone manufacturers are already looking towards the models without an analog interface. In September, Philips introduced the world’s first headphones with Lightning-connection. Philips Fidelio M2L go on sale in December.
