Rumors have said that Apple is thinking of “killing” the 3.5mm earphone jack on the upcoming iPhone 7 to make the smartphone as slim as possible. Let’s take a look at how it will look without the jack
iPhone 7 – how it looks without earphone jack
The idea was made by designer Eric Huismann, by expressing the no-jack rumor onto a real concept design. To make it best he could, Huismann even include a Bluetooth earphone because the phone body is too slim to carry a 3.5mm jack. Huismann also replace the physical Home button we find on a typical iPhone these days with a 3D Touch Home button, coming along with interactive vibration to signal users when they touch the Home button.
Generally speaking, Huismann does make any significant change in the overlook of this iPhone 7 concept compared to the iPhone 6 and 6S we know as of now. However, the body is much slimmer, the back cover is smoother and flatter, and the camera module does not protrude on the back. To make his concept as realistic as possible, Huismann also desgined different variants for the upcoming iPhone 7, with different display sizes to best fit their category.
We all know that Apple has just launched iPhone 6S and 6S Plus not really long before. And because of that, it would take them a while more till the demand for the current smartphones cools down and till the right time for Apple to launch their later generation. However, we have seen and talked about many concept designs of the iPhone 7 up to now, including this latest design by Huismann.
