If sensors are the same then all of the above will be possible. I'm hoping for the same. But recently there was a patent from Apple depicting the zoom feature achieved by using two different cameras...
Except Apple will be using Lightning, I can guarantee it. That brings up complications like do you buy USB or Lightning-cabled headphones? And even if you choose one, you're going to be buying adapters for the cable, which means you're either getting lightning-to-USB (most likely) or USB-to-lightning port (less likely since only iPhones use Lightning), and even adapters for older 3.5mm ports. Also another issue with USB-C headphones is you're taking up a USB slot, which could be used for something else, and ultimately could have been avoided just by staying 3.5mm... and I can't imagine all manufacturers dropping the 3.5mm port immediately. The only other solution is wireless, but try with a straight face to tell that to anyone who cares even remotely about audio quality. Not to mention there's no real sound advantage to either new plug, and the only advantage it does have is in Apple marketing.
New Bose SoundSports are amazing. No quality loss at all. Your battery life is gonna drain just from playing music, so, what's the difference? A couple (literally like 2) % points is nothing unless you have to have 50%+ to be able to go to sleep at night or some other bs. Wireless Beats are terrible, I will say, though. They're a joke in the headphone market, wired or wireless.
There are examples where someone took multiple images from a DSLR and combined them in Photoshop using a process called "Median Stacking"
Basically... each image has different noise patterns. And with multiple images... you can analyze each image... figure out what the noise is... and filter it out.
A similar process could be applied to multiple images captured simultaneously from dual iPhone cameras.
And then there was that crazy concept camera with 16 lenses and sensors

I don't understand, I thought the removal of the headphone jack was done in order to make the phone thinner. It now just seems like a bigger inconvenience then the benefits it will reap.
With only three months to go until the launch of the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus, case makers have already started creating cases for the two devices based on rumored specifications. We were able to get our hands on a set of iPhone 7 cases, so we did a comparison video to see how it measures up to the iPhone 6.
Early iPhone cases are always built on specifications gleaned from rumors, supply chain information, and other third-party sources, and oftentimes, they're an accurate representation of what we can expect a next-generation iPhone to look like.
Cases aren't always spot on because they're only as precise as the information they've been built on, but these iPhone 7 cases match with almost all of the rumors we've heard about the iPhone 7 so far.
As can be seen in the video, the iPhone 7 case fits well on an iPhone 6s, in line with myriad rumors pointing towards only minor changes for the 2016 iPhone. When it comes to size and thickness, the iPhone 7 is going to be almost identical to the iPhone 6s, with some minor antenna band changes. The mute switch, the volume buttons, and the power button on the iPhone 6s fit perfectly into the iPhone 7 case.
The iPhone 7 case does not fit the iPhone 6s camera, with a lower, wider, and tapered camera cutout. Schematics of the iPhone 7 have depicted a larger camera, presumably to accommodate an improved sensor, so we will see some design changes in the camera area. Rumors have widely focused on the dual-camera in the iPhone 7 Plus, but we expect the iPhone 7 will also be getting some significant camera improvements.
At the bottom of the case, there are cutouts for two speakers and no cutout for the headphone jack. Apple will be removing the headphone jack in the iPhone 7, but whether or not the space will be filled with a second speaker is contested. Some rumors suggest dual speakers for stereo audio, but others say the iPhone 7 will continue to sport a single speaker.
Other design changes rumored for the iPhone 7 include repositioned antenna bands, with the removal of the bands that span across the back of the device, and the possibility of improved water resistance. Inside, we expect the iPhone 7 to have an A10 processor and 2GB RAM.
You probably noticed that the cases in our video are sporting a MacRumors logo. That's because we ordered hundreds of iPhone 7 cases in anticipation of giving them away as part of a new optional membership program that we're launching in the near future. Want one?

[doublepost=1465516470][/doublepost]on bright side, if it's not that appealing I can get a Samsung and have iMessage on it.
