SAN FRANCISCO — Apple’s new iPhone 7 has many new features including improved battery life, fancy screen, stereo speakers, more memory and a better CPU — but, controversially, no headphone jack.

Apple decided to eliminate the traditional headphone jack from the device to free up space for other components. To listen to audio, consumers will need to use the Lightning connector with Lightning earbuds, or an adapter for current headphone jacks.

The company is banking on the hope people will buy new Apple AirPods, rechargeable wireless earbuds with a five-hour battery life. The AirPods won’t come with the iPhone 7 and will sell separately for $160 — that’s in addition to the $650 or $770 for the base or Plus model.

Apple has a history of abandoning older technologies from its products long before the competition, such as its elimination of built-in optical drives from its iMac computers in 2012.

According to Forbes, the new iPhone model is water and dust resistant and sports a new 12 megapixel camera. The iPhone 7 Plus camera features dual telephoto and wide-angle lenses.
