iPhone 7 Release Date News&Rumor: Headphone Jack Stays

The Apple rumor mill recently began buzzing with rumors for the remove of iPhone 7's headphone jack. However, it now seems to be false alarm. New clues suggested that iPhone 7 will outfit a headphone jack.

French site Nowhereelse.fr Tuesday released an image of Lightning cable assembly, depicted as iPhone 7's components, which include a headphone jack on the far left-hand side. The part also has the cellular antenna cables and the obligatory Lightning port.

Apple reportedly will start mass production of iPhone 7 in June, therefore, more reliable news will pop up.

Mobile&Apps previously reported that Japanese magazine revealed the design of the upcoming iPhone, which show the headphone jack are removed.

Meanwhile, Apple's CEO Tim Cook broke silence on iPhone this Monday in an interview, "new iPhones that will incent you and other people that have iPhones today to upgrade to new iPhones."
