Apple's quest for ever-thinner, ever-smarter devices may produce another casualty: your iPhone's headphone jack. A rumor at MacOtakara claims that the next iPhone might drop the 3.5mm port and use the Lightning port for audio instead. The move would let Apple slim its phone even further (reportedly, over 1mm thinner than the iPhone 6s) and take advantage of Lightning's features, such as headphone-based DACs and app launching. You'd have to use an adapter for any conventional wired headphones, or else make the leap to Bluetooth.

I hate how new smartphones seem to have fewer features these days. It is like that buyers are paying more money, but getting fewer features.
I wonder if Apple gives a pair of free headphones with a lightning port with their new iPhone which has no headphone ports, or an adapter to make it possible to use people's older headphones on a lightning port.
I think Apple should add 2 lightning ports on their iPhone, or include a hub, so people can charge their iPhone with 1 port while listening to music on the 2nd lightning port.
