The long-rumoured death of the iPhone's headphone jack has left everybody wondering: What's going to become of Apple's EarPods? Well, they'll probably go wireless, but according to one analyst, they won't come with your iPhone. They'll be sold separately -- and they might be expensive. KGI Securities' Ming-Chi Kuo believes that Apple will announce a pair of high-end "AirPod" earbuds tomorrow as a premium accessory for iPhone 7 buyers. They won't come in the box like Apple's current earbuds, he says, and may not even use Bluetooth.

According to Kuo, Apple may have designed a "Bluetooth-like communications chip" with more strict limits on power consumption. This same low-power chip may also be used to communicate with smart car systems and other home accessories. The Analyst even goes as far as to name Taiwan Semiconductor as the company he believes developed the chip.

So, if Apple's wireless answer to removing the headphone jack is going to be a premium accessory, what about the average user? Not to worry: Kuo believes the iPhone 7 will bundle in a pair of lighting-connector compatible earbuds or, at bare minimum, a 3.5mm to lighting adapter. Even so, take this report with a grain of salt -- Kuo has a strong history of getting these kinds of predictions right, but we won't know for sure until tomorrow.

man, the iphone should have BEEN looking into reducing the size of the bezel. we can drastically increase the screen size while still maintaining the same size phone.
Yup that edge to edge is dope and should be the standard.

yeah, I think they should put the home button on the right side under the power button. dunno if they'd still be able to use touch id on such a small button, but if that's possible, then, you can use all that extra space at the bottom.

they should be able to have "soft home button" incorporated on the glass for touch id that disappears as soon as you unlock the phone or no longer need it to give you that full screen back.

not sure if I want a button like that. I only say that cuz any time my hands have any moisture, I have a hard time getting some of the touch screen controls to work. this comes into play specifcally when I'm exercsing and I'm sweating a lot.

I'm having a tough time selling this 6s but I still think I'll get the 7. Sprint is saying they'll do the lease for $100 off the 256. I'm just gonna pay off the lease the first month.

Always sell well in advance. You get the most money and people will actually buy. IMO Keep your 6s as a back up phone and sell every other iphone you get from here on out.
