After the leak showing the 7+ or "Pro" edition having the Smart Connector, I have heard everything from a smart battery case to wireless charging yet I think we are missing a biggie.

My theory is that it's the connection for a VR/AR headset. You will be able to use the dual camera to record video then slide your iPhone into the headset and transmit that data to make it a VR experience. Or run an game/app on the iPhone and have the data broadcast to the headset.

Don't see why they can't just use the Lightning connector.
