The new phone will require people either to plug in through
the Lightning port or use Bluetooth – making millions of headphones all
but obsolete.

Apple might have accidentally revealed that new Beats headphones are going to be launched alongside the iPhone 7.
The apparent leak is given extra importance because of the fact that
wireless headphones of the kind Beats makes are going to be central to
the new iPhone. All rumours suggest that Apple is getting rid of the
traditional headphone jack – meaning that users will either have to plug
themselves into the Lightning port on the bottom of the phone, or use
Bluetooth technology.
It isn’t clear whether the new headphones will be Bluetooth, as most
of Beats’ products already are, or whether they will also be introducing
new headphones built for the Lightning port.
It’s also not clear whether they will be the sometimes rumoured AirPod
headphones that have been rumoured to be launching alongside the iPhone.
Apple is said to be making those itself – but it may be leaning on
Beats, which it bought in 2014, for its previous work in wireless
headphones.
The new leak comes from an email that was apparently sent out by
Beats’ PR team to French-speaking journalists. It consisted of an invite
to the 7 September event – but also made reference to Beats products
that haven’t been mentioned before.
The subject line of the apparent message reads “Apple Keynote”, as
one might expect. But then it goes on: “Discover new products from Beats
by Dre”, it says in French.
The body of the email then tells people who love technology to tune
in to an event that can’t be missed. That’s in part because there’ll be a
selection of new products from Beats by Dre that will be revealed at
the event, it says.
