The iPhone 7 will apparently have stereo speakers after all
The new all new iPhone 7 will feature stereo speakers after all, according to a series of tweets, later deleted, by Apple just before the unveiling of the product during the Apple's iPhone 7 event Wednesday in San Francisco.
Most iPhones prior to the iPhone 6 had all dual speaker grilles flanking the connector port, but this is the first time the phone will feature stereo speakers.
Apple's decision to introduce the stereo speakers is, most likely, linked to the highly controversial removal of the headphone jack. No confirmation of that feature just yet.
