The iPhone 7 has some amazing features and upgrades over the iPhone 6s but having a headphone jack isn't one of them. Having a headphone jack in a phone was made accustom and it was not considered to be a "feature" . that is until now.
Removing the headphone jack was a bold move by Apple as this would affect pretty much every iPhone user out there. From audiophiles who have purchased expensive headphones just to listen to top quality audio , to normal folks who would now have trouble connecting their iPhones with the AUX port, the removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack was a bad move from Apple. Apple itself admits that it took courage to remove such a widely used port.
So then why did the company decide to remove it? Well it all started with a new and improved camera. It was a much larger camera than before due to it having Optical Image Stabilization this time round. This caused the Apple team to move the driver ledge to another place on the phone , this is essentially a tiny circuit board which controls the iPhone's display and backlight. This component is normally placed on top of the device, outside of the batteries reach.
However now , the best place the team found for it was the bottom of the iPhone 7 and as you may have guessed, a conflict arose between whether to put the headphone jack there or the driver ledge.Therefore the team decided to test the device out without the headphone jack in it. A number of benefits showed up as they did this. The taptic button was now easier to install and the battery size could also be increased. Thus having a larger camera resulted in the i{hone 7 not having a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Secondly, by removing the headphone jack , making the Phone waterproof was now easier than ever. Thus in the end ,the team at Apple responsible for the iPhone 7, concluded that it was best if this year's iPhone ditched the 3.5mm headphone jack in exchange for a better optically stabilized camera, a larger battery and a waterproof phone.
So there you have it folks. The three main reasons why Apple ditched the headphone jack on the iPhone 7. The transition may be tough and you may not like the phone at first but every Apple enthusiast should at least give the iPhone a try. So then, Are planning to buy an iPhone 7?
