Judging from the news from foreign media and various sources about the god, iPhone 7 A new design will be adopted, and the traditional 3.5mm headphone connector will probably be canceled. Removing the 3.5mm interface means that it can only be used Lightning Interface or Bluetooth headset What kind of problems will Apple encounter when it makes wireless headsets?
according to Apple will introduce a huge change to the iPhone 7, which will include a high-end wireless headset manufactured by Beats instead of the original 3.5mm interface Earpods. Beats' new earplug has a special design. It is not only a wireless connection between the headset and the mobile phone, but also a wireless connection between the left and right earplugs. A similar design of headset Skybucks has also been launched.
To make such a wireless headset, Apple will also face such problems:
Bluetooth can only be connected to one Bluetooth audio device at a time.
According to the traditional Bluetooth connection, if this Bluetooth headset uses Bluetooth to connect the headset and the mobile phone, and there is no cable connection between the left and right earplugs, then the left and right earplugs can no longer be connected directly through Bluetooth, and the mobile phone can only be connected to one of the earplugs. If Apple wants to connect the phone to two earplugs separately, it may have to do some tricks on the phone.
Bluetooth audio signal cannot be transmitted through human body.
For example, Skybucks uses a magnetic induction technology to transmit audio. In the past, such technology only appeared in hearing aids. But for Apple, transmitting hi fi music is more complex than simply transmitting sound, which requires new technology to support such a design.
Wireless means headphones are easy to lose.
For small items such as earplugs, there is an inherent risk of easy loss, and if the left and right earplugs are separated, the problem of easy loss is more likely to occur. Apple may need to design an excellent solution to this problem.
The problem of endurance needs to be solved urgently.
The battery life of mobile phones has not been a good solution for the industry, and Bluetooth headsets will also encounter the problem of battery life. If the earplugs on the left and right sides of the iPhone 7 need to be connected wirelessly, it means that they each have a lithium battery, so that it can work properly. What Apple needs to solve is how to skillfully charge both sides of the earplugs together, and at the same time make them have good portability.
