The EarPods’ images, posted on Chinese social media website Weibo, are said to come with Apple iPhone 7 and iPhone 7s.
The size hints that there might be some electronics in there as well. It hints at the possibility of an authenticator chip, Apple insider says.
Incidentally, Apple will not be the first company to ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack (if it does) as earlier this year LeEco launched its three smartphones without a 3.5mm headphone jack
