iPhone 7 smartphone: waterproof and no earphone jack

According to our source, Apple is experimenting a unique patent called “Eletronic Devices with Housing Port Shutters”, which can steal off all ports on the body to protect the device from any kind of liquid and moisture. This both explains the previous rumor about iPhone 7 smartphone will be waterproof and why the handset is being expected with no ear-phone jack, which can be found on most (if not all) mobile phones in the market nowadays. Would it be a nice move when iPhone 7 make such a change?

Apple engineers say that, once removing the earphone jack, they can make iPhone 7 body 1mm thinner than iPhone 6S of today. In order to make up for the “sacrifice” of common 3.5mm earphone jack, the company is expected to introduce new EarPods that plug into the Lightning port instead. At the same time, this movement encourages the use of Bluetooth earphone as a new technology trend.
