I interpret &#8220;See you on the 7th&#8221; to be a reference to the additional camera that is rumored to be on the new iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>The main thing people have been already been complaining about is that the new iPhone will likely not have a standard headphone jack. I can think of a couple of reasons that they would remove this. I&#8217;ll preface this by saying that they wouldn&#8217;t just randomly remove something like that unless they felt the benefits outweigh all that complaints they&#8217;ll likely have.   <\/p>\n<p>The headphone jack takes (relatively speaking) a lot of room in the phone.  There are a number of things that they could do with this extra room.  The first thing that comes to mind is extra battery space, which translates to more battery life.   <\/p>\n<p>Second, along with a second camera, it&#8217;s likely that the new iPhone will have a second microphone. This could be leveraged in a couple of different ways.  Noise reduction is one.  Another is greater fidelity for doing speech recognition.  Apple has already said that <a href=\"https:\/\/backchannel.com\/an-exclusive-look-at-how-ai-and-machine-learning-work-at-apple-8dbfb131932b#.86id0jky2\">additional microphones would be of benefit to Siri<\/a> and this could be applied to speech recognition in general, especially for &#8220;simple&#8221; dictation of notes and reminders. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple is sent out &#8220;See you on the 7th&#8221; invitations to the press, which has been widely interpreted to mean that that this is the day new iPhones will be announced.
