Wireless headphones being pushed by Apple

Doubt it. At least for the next 2-4 years

1-2 years at most. Watch Google be next followed by Samsung and LG next year. you might get some lower tier manufacturers to keep,using it, but with everybody else trying to reduce thickness from their top tier devices it's the only port that's easily removable.

I give Samsung 2 years. Can almost guarantee that the Galaxy that comes out after the iPhone 7 will have commercials attacking Apple for getting rid of the headphone jack, and show Galaxy owners using traditional headphones.

Then the following Galaxy phone will ditch it.

Well tbh I am dying for a mass consumer version of truly wireless ear buds. I know there's a few "start ups" or what ever you call them that are pushing their product if you donate the purchase amount of them then wait 6 months for them to be shipped. Forget there name.

Basically is two seperate mini ear buds that fit in your ear with no wires even connecting the two buds. I guess they both have little blue tooth receivers in them.

There was a iPhone 7 rumor several months ago Apple was attempting to make buds like these to specifically be shipped in the box with these types of buds. I doubt they will have them ready if thy are actually developing them by iPhone 7 release, maybe the iPhone 8 if they skip the 7S model.

I think if Apple could ship these type of wireless buds it would become to new mainstream standard. Which I have been hoping for for like 8 years

Not for me - they'd be falling out and I'd be constantly losing them!

My guess is that they go wireless, but charge via lightning. It will act like the the Pencil - plug it into a device and it will automatically pair the two. You will also be able to listen over lightning, bypassing the Bluetooth compression. This simplifies pairing, and like with the Pencil, means it will be impossible to run out of battery, and you don't have to carry an extra wire just for charging.

If you are charging the iPhone and the batteries go on your wireless headphones what options do you have?

I guess if the battery goes on wireless headphones you can wire then to iPhone to listen, while they charge as well?

 

[BMcCoy]

wireless charging of the wireless headphones? using the same wireless charging plans they have for the iPhone itself?!?!

 

[deany]

and a cable if both are on inductive charging pod?.....so you can listen to music while the phone charges, they would need a 2m cable like the one supplied with the apple watch.

I suspect both the next iPhone and/or at least the headphones will have a fast charge feature like the Pencil does. Thirty seconds or a minute of charging will provide an hour of use or more.

Or they're just advertising their back to school promo like they do every.single.year

Maybe it's just me but I just don't the big deal about removing the jack..wireless is the future of devices just as no home button will be.
