A new patent from Apple, Patent 9,142,925, indicating that Apple sees an opportunities to launch a new D-shaped 2.5 mm audio jack. This could possibly be a part of making iPhone and iPad even thinner, but will most likely be a bad solution for consumers.

Proprietary solutions

A smart choice?
company is not religious when it comes to dimensions.
The increased thickness of both their 6s models to get space 3D Touch panel: iPhone 6s increased from 6.9 to 7.1 mm – 6s Plus from 7.1 to 7.3 mm.
