How do you ensure that your music sounds as good as it possibly can? It sounds like a simple question with a straightforward solution, but there’s a lot more going on behind the scenes than you may realise.
The iPhone 7 will probably drop the 3.5mm port that’s ubiquitous amongst audio-capable devices, in favour of Lightning (and Bluetooth) headphones. That standard lasted 32 years on Apple devices, but now it looks like Apple are pulling the plug (pun intended).
The latest rumours suggest that the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus will drop the long-running 3.5mm port, and instead offer the choice between Lightning and Bluetooth headphones. That’s a pain in the neck for anyone that has a nice set of wired headphones, as you’ll need an adapter to connect to the next iPhone, but it also opens up new possibilities. We’ll be stocking a full range of Lightning headphones and adapters at Mobile Fun, so you’ll be fully prepared for the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. Let’s take a look.
If you want to carry on using your iPhone while charging then you’ll know you have to position yourself near a plug point or free USB socket. This can make using your iPhone on your sofa or bed pretty awkward. Extra long iPhone cables are a simple solution to this, so we’ve picked out some of the best around.
Apple is planning to start streaming high-resolution audio in Apple Music next year, according to sources from Japan’s Portable Audio Festival. Reports suggest that we’ll see 96kHz / 24-bit music streaming, which will spur the production of higher-quality audio peripherals.
