I think Apple will just supply headphones with a lightning connector in the box as standard, they'll probably charge £25 for the adapter just like when they made the jump from the old 30 pin to lightning and try to stop any unauthorised 3rd party accessories that do the same.

And at first everyone is going to despise that move but later, they will all iSheep again. Business as usual in the world of Apple. The good thing is that Bluetooth headsets are good today.
I am just waiting for Apple to remove that too and introduce some iBullShit to have the third parties to pay more fees.

Apple Leaks Reveal iPhone 7 Nasty Surprises
There is no headphone jack. By now the whole world knows Apple has made the controversial decision to axe the world’s most ubiquitous port from the new iPhone 7. But now users may not be getting the goodies they expected as compensation for this loss…
A pair of leaks this week make grim reading for potential iPhone 7 buyers as Apple appears set to cut back on two innovations widely expected this year.
Nasty Surprise #1: No Stereo Speakers
The first bad news comes via highly reliable French site Nowhereelse.fr which has attained schematics of the iPhone 7. The schematics say the matching second speaker grill on the bottom edge of the iPhone 7 (added thanks to the removal of the headphone jack) is purely cosmetic and simply houses the microphone.
Apple has pulled a similar stunt before with the iPhone 4S which also had matching dual speakers on the bottom edge (the headphone jack was at the top of the phone back then). Many predicted stereo sound at the time, only to be disappointed.
Nasty Surprise #2: No Touch Sensitive Home Button
With iPhone 7 innovations expected to be primarily internal (improved performance, bigger battery) and incremental (the dual camera is an iPhone 7 Plus / Pro only feature) there was one exception: the home button.
After nine years, the iPhone 7 appeared ready to move to a MacBook-inspired touch sensitive button which uses haptic feedback to simulate the sensation of physical touch. A fixed button would be more reliable, save physical space and potentially enable Apple to use the touch sensitivity to add gesture support at a later date (there’s no sign of this in iOS 10).

Unfortunately MacRumors reports a leaked chassis via Geekbar which it believes to be from the iPhone 7 shows the same cutouts for a physical home button, just like previous models.
What To Think?
Of course the obvious point to make is both leaks could be off the mark. In fact even if they are correct, Apple is known to make and test multiple iterations of each iPhone prior to settling on a design. So these could be prototype plans that have since been scrapped.
That said I would argue it is crucial Apple ‘sells’ the loss of the headphone jack as a gain overall by arguing it allows the iPhone 7 to take new, appealing steps forward. These include higher quality sound through the Lightning port, more space for a bigger battery, waterproofing and yes, stereo speakers and (in absence of a design overhaul) the compensation of an upgraded home button and internals.
If such features get chipped away, the loss of a headphone jack in conjunction with a third year of largely unchanged external design set against the backdrop of falling sales could spell trouble and imply stagnation. Yes, sales figures will still be on a scale of ‘trouble’ most smartphone makers would die for but it’s trouble nonetheless.
In recent years Apple product launches have had little to no surprises. With some of the negativity surrounding the iPhone 7 (especially against the excitement for 2017’s radical iPhone
let’s hope Apple does have some surprises this year. Either way, we’ll all find out very soon…

I think there is more to what will NOT be in this iteration of the iPhone than no more headset jack. Certain providers are already on board (with a growing list) of having a USIM embedded ... allowing one single sim to be used on ALL carriers or for now multiple carriers 17 via the iPad Pro!
I have a feeling this works for Apple and providers cause they'll not have to continuously spend on a small chip, brand it, spend more for wasted plastic to hand out to a user when they switch carriers or change phones (SIM to MicroSIM to NanoSIM). This also allows a VERY DEEP sleep mode, unknown to the user and theif that micro data along with GPS is set out and triangulate a user (or say terrorist - take your pick) of their location to the "authorities".

32/128/256GB Storage.
Apple welcome to the leagues of the $1500 US retail smartphone club.
That's my estimate for the phone 7S Plus
My estimates on storage range/model:
iPhon 5SE: 8/16/32/64GB
16GB cheapest for India/China biggest retail opportunities and largest profits/units sold
64GB for those that still don't like the 4.7" screen size with huge bezel.
iPhone 6S: 32/64/128GB Continued
^ I have the 64GB just yesterday ... LOVE IT!
iPhone 7:
32/128/256GB
iPhone 7Plus:
32/128/256GB.
iPhone 6 cancelled as it too closely resembles the iPhone 6S lineup and Apple doesn't want to dilute developers efforts for implementing Force Touch.

So it appears that the new iphone will be water resistant, IPx7, no doubt to help it against the s7 and note and help it in the Japanese market where water resistance is sought after feature.

Rumours has it there will be a 4 tone LED flash now and not 2 tone for improved colours. The absence of a 3.5mm jack would is a deal breaker for me, even with a lighting port adapter, assuming one ships in the box and apple doesn't force you to buy it. Or perhaps only pre-orders will ship with an adapter
I can see people losing the wireless headphones easily so no doubt apple will charge a ridiculous amount for a replacement pair. Will be interesting to see what apple do with the dual camera set up and if people will actually use it.
What I do like is the inclusion of a black colour option, it was always something missing in my mind but with the missing headphones jack, the colour is not enough to warrant move to ios.

In London the majority of young people who use iPhones have an expensive pair of Beats attached to it so I think loads of people would be really annoyed if it didn't have an adapter in the box.
