Apple's 2016 iPhone Update to Focus on Headphone Jack Removal, Major Changes Won't Come Until 2017

The dual lens camera is likely to be only on the Plus. It's going to be much tougher convincing 4.7" owners to upgrade.

Hmm. Weren't there 3 models in that one "shell" leak? (the 7, 7+ and 7Pro - the latter of the 3 getting the dual-lens camera and smart connector?)

(sorry...couldn't resist stirring the pot)

Apple has always been about removing things whenever they think they can do better. And they've been about wireless for as long as I can remember.

Well, they need to get something out of their Beats investment....

But, they'll likely have to do something to sabotage Jaybird in iOS 10 to give themselves a chance.

How would this help Beats? People aren't going to throw out their headphones to buy beats. They might move to Bluetooth, they might get a dongle. And before you mention beats wireless, their earbuds are a joke when it comes to battery life.

Get a conspiracy theory that has roots in reality.

Sorry, next time I'll try to use the sarcasm font so you can play along.

Problem is anything wireless from Apple will take a toll on battery life. Airplay, Bluetooth, AirDrop, WiFi etc. My iPad goes along just fine with any wireless features turned on considering the battery size. But the iPhone, well...

BT audio hasn't caused a meaningful difference in battery use on my 6S Plus. I moved completely to BT because the headphone kept being yanked out at work.

Well, I did think that the Jaybird comment was absurd enough that emoticons weren't required, but ok, I can see it.

If this is the case, the next iPhone is called iPhone 6SE, I'd like to say, I called this quite early back at the beginning of March, which makes me a superstar.
