Apple’s iPhone 7 Is Droping the Standard Headphone Jack - Online Proof

Just when the rumors of Apple ditching the standard headphone jack for its upcoming iPhone 7 were about to die down, a new report has surfaced claiming that there is enough evidence to prove that the rumors will turn out to be truthful when the handset is launched this September.

On Friday, MacRumors ran a story about an amendment for the trademark application for "AirPods," which according to the site is most likely the moniker of the iPhone 7's companion in-ear headphones.

The "AirPods" trademark application came into light last October, but at the time there was still no conclusive evidence to prove that it's for an Apple device.

Apparently, the filing was made by an unknown company called Entertainment in Flight LLC, so nobody could tell back then that it's for the iPhone 7.

However, things have become clearer this week when the trademark application was amended and signed by a Jonathan Brown, who per the official document is the manager of Entertainment in Flight LLC.

It isn't difficult to put two and two together when it's public knowledge that Apple's Senior Standards Counsel also has a name of Jonathan Brown.

Brown is known be at the forefront of Apple's trademark and patent maintenance and litigation.

In addition, it was also found out that the signature on the "AirPods" trademark application was similar to the signatures in the Apple attorney's court papers from a civil case in 2010.

Using a shell company to file for trademarks is not something new to the Cupertino-based tech giant at all.

Apple previously did the same thing for the "iPad" and "CarPlay" and even for the "iWatch," as per 9to5Mac.

Nevertheless, it should be noted that Apple can still change its mind and either ditch the name "AirPods" like what happened to the "iWatch."

Still, the emergence of new details about Apple's wireless in-ear headphones is enough to intensify the hype over the upcoming iPhone 7, according to SlashGear.

Sadly, because the "AirPods" will only function using Bluetooth connectivity, it will be sold separately from the Apple smartphone when it is launched alongside the iPhone 7 this fall.

Pokémon Go is a free-to-play location-based augmented reality mobile game developed by Niantic. It was initially released in July 2016 for iOS and Android devices, starting with Australasia, the United States, and parts of Europe, with Asian and other European releases to follow. The game allows players to capture, battle, and train virtual Pokémon who appear throughout the real world. It makes use of GPS and the camera of compatible devices. Although the game is free-to-play, it supports in-app purchases of additional gameplay items. An optional companion Bluetooth wearable device, the Pokémon Go Plus, is planned for future release and will alert users when Pokémon are nearby. The game received a mixed critical reception. However, it was the most downloaded smartphone app in the United States in its first three days of release and was a boon to Nintendo's stock value.
