Apple's iPhone 7, which debuts on September 16, will lack one major component: a headphone jack. The new iPhone features just one lightning port, which can be used to either plug in special headphones... or charge the phone. The reasoning for this monumental shift in design? "Courage." 

"The courage to move on and do something new that betters all of us," explained Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller at the press event according to The Verge. 

In a longer interview with Buzzfeed, an Apple exec explained that the headphone jack wasn't warranted because of space issues. “It was holding us back from a number of things we wanted to put into the iPhone,” said SVP of hardware engineering Dan Riccio. “It was fighting for space with camera technologies and processors and battery life. And frankly, when there’s a better, modern solution available, it’s crazy to keep it around.” 

When push comes to shove, though, this means that iPhone 7 owners will need an adapter to listen to music using any regular pair of headphones. Instead, Apple wants listeners to use Bluetooth headphones or its proprietary headphones with a lightning cable. 

Suffice it to say, Apple should expect a lot of unhappy iPhone owners in the near future.
