Will the New Apple iPhone Have a Headphone Jack? Rumormongers Say It Won’t - The New York Times

Only two days until the industry can shift its focus to iPhone 8 speculation...

"Anyone who cares enough about the iPhone to know that a new model is being released this month already knows what it is supposed to be like: a little thinner, a little faster and equipped with superior cameras on the Plus model.

By far the most controversial feature, however, is the one that will be missing: a headphone jack. A standard element of technology that can be traced back to 1878 and the invention of the manual telephone exchange, the jack is apparently going the way of the floppy disk and the folding map. The future will be wireless."
