<i>How could you charge your phone and listen to music simultaneously?</i><p>There could be two lighting ports. After all, there is currently a lighting port and a 3.5mm jack, so why would replacing the jack with a lightning port be out of the question?<p><i>But what if I want to play music at a party?</i><p>Use Bluetooth.<p><i>But my current set of headphones won&#x27;t work!</i><p>Get a new pair. Think that&#x27;s ridiculous? Most people buy new headphones pretty often, it&#x27;s not that hard to imagine that in a year&#x27;s time when the iPhone 7 comes out that people who don&#x27;t currently have Bluetooth headphones (which would work anyway) or a lighting port compatible set of headphones that aren&#x27;t satisfied with the set that ship with the iPhone (probably not an overwhelming percentage) wouldn&#x27;t buy a new set.
