One of the biggest rumors for the upcoming iPhone 7 is Apple’s alleged plans to remove the headphone port on the phone. Instead in the future, users are expected to connect headphones to the iPhone via the Lightning port. This isn’t as absurd as you might think as other OEMs have recently ditched the headphone port in favor of USB-C as well.
That being said, there is a bit of contention going on right now as to whether Apple will bundle the iPhones with a Lightning pair of EarPod headphones, or if they will just provide users with an adapter, which in our opinion would be more useful. Now thanks to a video uploaded by Vietnamese website Tinhte.vn, it shows off the alleged official Lightning to 3.5mm adapter.
From what we can tell in the video, this accessory certainly looks official in terms of the design, but then again it’s not that hard for OEMs to copy Apple’s designs or to create something that looks almost the same, but there’s something about the way the accessory looks in terms of color and choice of materials that exudes an Apple-like vibe.
In terms of whether or not the accessory will be bundled remains to be seen. It is possible that Apple could bundle Lightning EarPods with the iPhone, or they could bundle the Lightning adapter, or maybe even both, but either way check out the video above if you’d like to see what the “official” Lightning to 3.5mm adapter could look like.
