iphone seOne of the rumored changes that Apple will be making to the iPhone 7 would be the removal of the headphone port. This means that using headphones with future iOS devices means that you’ll either need to connect it via Lightning, or get a pair of Bluetooth headphones, or maybe purchase an adapter of sorts.

There have been some speculation that Apple could either provide iPhone users with an adapter and a regular pair of EarPods, or they could bundle a set of wireless headphones. While the jury is still out on that one, it has recently been discovered by Russian website iPhones.ru (via MacRumors) that Apple has recently been granted Eurasian certificates for something called “AirPods”.

Granted the name could mean just about anything, but it does sound like they could be referring to wireless EarPods that connect via Bluetooth.  This is also not the first time the name has popped up as MacRumors notes that back in July, the AirPods name was also trademarked, and this certificate seems to corroborate that.

However like we said, whether or not these headphones will be sold separately or bundled with the new iPhones remains to be seen, but Apple has already scheduled an event for the 7th of September so hopefully we will find out more then.
