The fact that the 3.5mm jack is a standard definitely will not cause Apple to keep it if they want to change it. Apple has always done what they wanted, why otherwise did they use a 30-Pin connector and now the Lightning port instead of Mini or Micro USB? On their computers they had their Firewire and later Thunderbolt when the rest of the industry adopted USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 and other display port technologies. Only recently Apple seems to come back to a standard which most likely will be next with computers and that is USB C.
If they do get rid of the 3.5mm jack and sell a number of Lightning headsets both basic and high-end through their Beats Headset company then of course a lot of other manufacturers who produce periferals will follow and I assume they have to pay Apple a small licencing fee for every Lightning headset or every 3.5mm to Lightning adapter produced. Considering how many tens of millions of devices we are talking about here, this does add up and it’s easy money for Apple.

Hi! Well, it's still not known will the 3.5 mm jack be replaced with the universal Lightning port. This is still a rummor and has to be treated in that manor. As Sieghard stated, the room is not the reason for this because newer iPod Touch (5 and 6G) are significantly thinner than the iPhones and if Apple can implement the 3.5 mm jack in there it certainly can do that in the possibly thinner iPhones 7 and later. Besides that, Apple is a smart company and they are certainly aware the 3.5 mm jack is worldwide universal standard and it would be a large drawback in the usability of the phone to force the users to use different standard and to adjust all audio ecquipment they already have to the new Lightning standard. Remember, some years ago all phone manufacturers had unique connection standards for their devices so you couldn't use Samsung handsfree on Motorola, first Nokia Symbian models also had an ugly and large connectors which took minutes to plug and it all went down the river, suddenly all pones got the standard 3.5 mm with exception of few Nokia phones which used 2.5 mm standard. However, technology moves in misterious ways and whatever we think about it it could happen anyway but I strongly doubt it will. I'm more concerned about dismissing the physical Home button but that is a different story.

I am not necessarily saying it’s a good thing. Just as you, I can’t speak from the perspective of somebody who is hearing impaired and if there are major drawbacks then it’s not a good thing. Unfortunately a lot of sources and Podcasters who do iPhone related Podcasts seem to think that it is more and more likely the 3.5mm jack will be gone on the iPhone 7.

Sieghard, do you think this is a good thing? I don't. Having never had a hearing impairment, though, I can't personally judge the effects, but it is Jonathan Mosen says that there are problems using Bluetooth thing for someone who has a hearing impairment, I trust him. If I remember correctly, the issues he mentioned have to do with lag. I already don't like the lag over Bluetooth, and can imagine how frustrating that is for someone who's hearing, as well as visually, impaired. Also, I wouldn't want to have to carry a lightning to 3.5 MM adapter around with me, just to make whatever lightning said Apple puts out, if they do end up using the lightning Jack for a wired connection, compatible with other devices. It's one more thing for me to carry around and potentially lose, or forget in the wrong purse, and be stuck using my computer without headphones.

Check the specs of an iPod Touch or even better an iPod Nano. The latter is a bit over 4mm thick and it has a 3.5mm jack. Another good example where Apple is doing something they think is a good thing and which ultimately probably makes them more money and where others try to explaina nd interpret it.

Hello vphone, We have published new blog in our website. iPhone 7 with no headphone jack at all? If you thought that was bad news, it gets worse - according to Japanese site Mac Otakara, Apple is thinking about ditching the headphone jack completely, enabling the company to shave 1mm from the device's thickness.
