Griffin’s iTrip Accessory Looks To Be iPhone 7 Ready

Apple’s upcoming iPhone 7 is widely believed to not include the headphone port. We would be more skeptical about this particular rumor if other OEMs haven’t done the same thing already, but since rumors are just that, rumors, it’s hard to say whether or not it is true. However Griffin seems to be getting users ready for it.

The accessory maker has recently announced a new accessory called the iTrip. We wouldn’t think much of it had they not worded it this way: “No headphone jack? NO problem! – Don’t worry if your favorite smartphone doesn’t have the headphone jack. iTrip Clip connects your favorite headphones wirelessly to your smartphone or tablet using Bluetooth 4.1.”

Granted Griffin does make accessories for other smartphones, but its launch seems to be rather coincidental especially with Apple’s iPhone announcement coming up next week. Now before you rush off and start placing your orders, we should note that there have been some rumblings that Apple might be bundling wireless headphones with the iPhone, so maybe you don’t really need these just yet.

However if you do have a pair of favorite headphones that you’d like to keep using, we guess why not? Even if the rumors are wrong, having a semi-wireless solution might not necessarily be such a bad thing, right?
