I also heard this morning that the home button is going as well.  Wait and see I guess..

 

 

 

 

Not for this model. This model may have a more flush button though. Minimal changes for the 7. It does get a new space black colour, removal of some of the antenna buttons, it will have some water resistance. And apart from updates to the camera and chip, and removal of teh 16GB model, with a new 256GB model, there isn't much else to write home about.  But the removal of the headphone port is a biggie, and I wouldn't be surprised if they bring it back for the 2017 model. I think they are more likely to include lightning headphones, as including an adapter kind of shows that it is a fail move.  People don't want adapters. But headphones in a lightning port means you can't listen to music why charging, not unless they are going to have two lightning ports. Using bluetooth isn't the best option either, as compresses already compressed music. It can make the sound 'poppy and tinny'. Personally I like smaller phones, and like the form factor of the 5s and SE because they fit in the pocket well and can be easily used one handed, so I see no reason to upgrade. 

 

Apple wont return the 3.5mm jack, in much the same way it likely won't supply a 3.5mm to lightning adaptor with the phone (but will likely sell it)  

The removal of the 3,5mm won't fail, accessories manufacturers will adapt to the change.

As far as other comments about there not being much interest the comment about all the leaks is likely more correct, this iPhone will out sell the last, and the next out sell that.

I am upgrading yearly at the moment as my phone is still worth around $1,000+ (iPhone 6S+ 128gb with Apple care) so to upgrade to the 128gb iPhone7+ is hopefully going to be around $1600 less any Vodafone rebate this year I should be about even, next year spend around $600 so $300 a year to upgrade isn't bad.
