Apple's quest for ever-thinner, ever-smarter devices may produce another casualty: your iPhone's headphone jack.<br />A rumor at MacOtakara claims that the next iPhone might drop the 3.5mm port and use the Lightning port for audio instead.<br />The move would let Apple slim its phone even further and take advantage of Lightning's features, such as headphone-based DACs and app launching.<br />You'd have to use an adapter for any conventional wired headphones, or else make the leap to Bluetooth.<br />You'll want to take this rumor with a big grain of salt.<br />MacOtakara doesn't have the greatest track record, and a lot could change in the 10 months between now and the future iPhone's possible launch in September next year.
