Don't Buy Anything Apple-related Yet, Till September 7 by bulletproofmonk(m): 11:14am On Aug 29, 2016
As we anxiously await the release of the new iPhone 7, rumours are flying around about the design changes that will also inform the launch of a new line of accessories/peripherals.

Apple is expected to announce new products (including the iPhone 7) on September 7, and have them in stores a week or so later. If you’re planning to upgrade, sit tight on accessorizing – especially as it concerns wired earbuds and phone cases.


WHY? USB-C
With the MacBook, Apple started its slow changeover to USB-C. There’s even a USB-C to Lightning cable, which indicated that things were bound to change.

The new MacBook Pros, which are long overdue, are also rumored to go the USB-C route. If that’s accurate, and we’d have to believe it is, it changes quite a bit for the average consumer.
At that point, Apple is basically turning its entire ecosystem over to USB-C and Lightning. It is a GOOD thing but potential buyers should exercise caution on buying anything Apple-related yet.


APPLE SWITCHING TO USB-C PROBABLY CHANGES EVERYTHING
Accessory makers have also been slowly migrating to USB-C connectivity. Once Apple goes all in on USB-C, expect everything to change too – earbuds, phone cases, battery packs, chargers etc.

Even if you don’t plan upgrading your iPhone for another year, buying accessories at this point might be a short-term bet except it is highly necessary.

Just save your money and wait till September 7 for the official update.

Very true. USB-C changes everything.

But if they want to try to take away the 3.5mm headphones as rumoured, it will be bad.
I read it on iCTunit.com

Having one port for everything isn't that cool
