Apple is rumored to have done away with the headphone jack in the iPhone 7, and new concept images of third-party Lightning-to-3.5mm adapter seem to suggest the rumors are true.
Chinese electronics accessory manufacturer Tama Electric (via Forbes) recently listed three separate devices, with at least one adding an additional micro-USB input allowing users to charge their phone while using headphones. The devices also appear to include volume control buttons.

Apple is reportedly removing the headphone jack to make the iPhone 7 1mm thinner than the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. Leaked photos of an early iPhone 7 case appear to reinforce that rumor—though it's hardly a confirmation. If the rumors are true, those uninterested in Apple's Lightning headphones will have to invest in an adapter or switch to bluetooth headphones.
The iPhone 7 is rumored to have a flush rear-facing camera. Apple is said to have also removed antenna bands from the back of the iPhone.
