Here are your Apple Rumors for today:
iPhone: A new report claims that Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone 7 will only see one major change this year, reports The Wall Street Journal. This report claims that the only major change coming to the smartphone is the removal of the port for the 3.5mm headphone jack. The device will instead use a Lightning connector for headphones. The reason given for only one major change this year is that much of the new technology the company has planned won’t be ready until the release of the 2017 iPhone.
EarPods: Rumor has it that the iPhone 7 will ship will normal EarPods, MacRumors notes. These EarPods would be quipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack. This may seem like it flies in the face of rumors claiming that the iPhone 7 will remove the headphone jack port in favor of a sport for the Lightning connector, but there’s a catch. This rumor also claims that the EarPods will come with an adapter that will plug into the Lightning connector and allow them to be used with the new smartphone.
Emoji: It appears that a new emoji was rejected by Apple, reports Geek.com. The tech company reportedly objected to the inclusion of a rifle emoji during a meeting of the Unicode committee. A pentathlon emoji of a man shooting a gun was also rejected by the committee. The new emoji will still be present in Unicode 9, but won’t show up for use. This new update is designed to include many new emoji connected to the Summer Olympics.
