iPhone 7: Apple is changing everything

Typically, every Fall, every Smartphone user is on their toes waiting for the release of the new iPhone. This year, that may not be the case. 

Earlier this week there was a leak of the design for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. (or sometime known as the "Pro") In this leak there were some shocking new advances in the iPhone yet, to some it may not be very beneficial. We all know that Apple has been trying to make the iPhone thinner since the very first iPhone, now they are making some drastic measures to create a skinnier phone. 

Some reports have indicated that Apple is planning on removing the headphone jack, you read that right... The headphone jack will be eliminated. In the process of making the smaller phone, Apple realized that the hardware of the phone (headphone jack, home button, etc.) is the main source of bulk in the phone. So expect to loose the home button in the future as well. "Apple is simply preparing for a radical iPhone design change in the future: the removal of the home button. By ditching the headphone jack and the home button, Apple could shrink the size of the iPhone without reducing the screen size." 

When BGR analyzed the leak of the phone they stated "The schematics, found in Japanese magazine Mac Fan by local Apple site Macotakara, show what looks like a 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus featuring a dual-lens camera and Smart Connector port on the back, a single speaker on the bottom, and no headphone jack."
