Apple could nix iPhone headphone jack

There’s new rumors that Apple may ditch the headphone jack on its next iPhone.

According to the Japanese tech website Mac Otakara, Apple wants to get rid of the jack to further slim down the phone. Instead, Apple would replace the jack with EarPods compatible with the Lightning-connector, currently used to charge Apple devices. The new phones would reportedly also support third-party Bluetooth and Lightning-based headphones, and could also come with an adapter.
