In recent days there have been rumors that Apple will remove the headphone jack on its next iPhone, which is planned to be launched by summer next year.
It is the Japanese blog Macotanaka who first reported that American company wants to remove the 3.5 millimeter wide jack input on the phone.
It should happen because Apple wants an even thinner phone and that it is not possible to achieve with the 3, 5 millimeters large opening at the bottom.
Headphones, according to the US site Mashable instead plugged into the charging port or wirelessly via Bluetooth. The Verge and 9to5Mac also writes about the rumor.
Error focus
Technology Adviser in NRK, Eirik Solheim, has also been joined by the rumors and is puzzled that Apple has such a huge focus to get to an even thinner phone.
– I do not know anybody who complain that their iPhone is too thick, but rather that the battery is not good enough, he says, and continues:
– I wonder why they are so busy over the thickness of the phone. I think it seems like the battery is a much bigger problem.
Solheim is unsure whether there are such rumors, since Apple is a company that is surrounded by rumors continuously.
– It is very early to comment on rumors about the next version, he said.

Apple has already worked for a while to make the output of the headphones less. In October they received according BGR.com approved a patent on a D-shaped plug which is over 40 percent smaller than the current version.
There is nothing new that Apple is changing its products or introducing new technology. IPhone 4 to iPhone 5 they switched for example from the wide charging plug to one that is much less.
They also removed the ability to use CDs on the newest MacBook without an external CD Player.

If they now choose to remove what is a universal plug for headphones will create reactions and it will be interesting to see what kind of solution they come up with. Especially for users who do not want to use the earplugs provided.
It is not clear when Apple will launch its next iPhone model, but considering that there are few months ago iPhone 6s were put up for sale, it takes enough for quite a while until we get confirmation or denial of the rumors.
