All we know that the next iPhone version doesnt include the 3.5mm headphone jack since Apple replace that jack into lightning cable. The new Lightning EarPods leaked online now.Also there are three version of iPhone expected this year.The next month full of Apple product fill in the market.
Actually the new leaked video about the LightningEarpods clearly explain the new EarPods of next version of iPhones.

The new video comes from YouTube channel Bshop Kuwa, and the protagonists are three iPhone mockup devices. The video gives us high-resolution quality  tour of the three devices from all angles. It confirms the shift of antenna bands to the edges, the protective ring around the camera lens, and the absence of 3.5mm headphone jack.

The next iPhone models sport two speaker grilles at the bottom. The three variants are rumoured to be called - iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and iPhone 7 Pro. The iPhone 7 Pro is seen sporting the dual camera setup, but lacks the rumoured Smart Connector. The video also confirms the arrival of Rose Gold, Silver, and Gold colour options.

In the video its just Earpods and the only change is connector.They work just like normal earphones, except for the Lightning connector. In addition to all these leaks, there's a separate report from Forbes confirming the addition of the Lightning-powered EarPods in the box accessories, but is also indicating that Apple will launch new wireless Bluetooth headphones as well.

The Bluetooth headphones, presumably with the Beats branding, will be launched as an alternative to the Lightning-powered EarPods. The report claims that Apple has been working on a Bluetooth chip in-house for many years. This effort began soon after the acquisition of Passif Semiconductor in 2013. Apple's chip will make the wireless headphones stay connected to the iPhone for a longer time, using less power to doing so. The Bluetooth wireless headphones are expected to survive 'all-day', just like the Apple Watch.

Due to minimal design tweaks, the upcoming iPhone is also rumoured to be called the iPhone 6SE. Apple is expected to host the launch event on September 5 or 6, with the smartphone
hitting the markets by September 16.

 Oppo has recently released new F1s smartphone in India.Now we will cover the complete  Oppo F1s review completely.Some of the highlighted points are listed.

Big Points
The Oppo F1s is another upgraded version of F1 in addition to 16-megapixel selfie camera
Fastest fingerprint sensor as well as long life battery
In India Oppo F1s price is Rs. 17,990

The 5.5-inch IPS display produces rich colours, and the maximum brightness level is much better than the Oppo F1 could manage. We had no trouble with the display under direct  sunlight. Even though the panel is good, we're not happy about the HD resolution, which is a bit too coarse for a screen of this size. Even though pixellation isn't all that apparent,  it would have been nice to have text and icons just a bit sharper, and that isn't asking for too much considering this phone's price point
The F1s gets a fingerprint sensor, which was missing on the F1, and it works very well. Just like the F1 Plus, the screen unlocks instantly.

The sensor is flanked by two backlit  capacitive buttons. Oppo also throws in a notification LED near the top. The all-metal body looks really good and the glossy gold trim that runs along the edges of the phone adds  to the device's premium aesthetic. Button placement is ergonomic although we would have liked better spacing between the volume buttons so we could distinguish them better. The headphones socket is on the bottom, along with a Micro-USB port and mono speaker. Once again, the headphones socket would have been better on the top as cable tend to get in the way while you're trying to type.

Around the back, we have the 13-megapixel camera and LED flash. The battery is sealed inside and is non-removable. The SIM tray sits on the right and we appreciate the fact that  it's not a hybrid Dual-SIM solution. Along with the two Nano-SIM cutouts, you also get a dedicated microSD card slot which can accommodate a 128GB card.The package includes a 10W power adapter, data cable, silicon case, SIM ejector tool, headset, and some reading material. Overall, the F1s gets a much-needed cosmetic upgrade, which makes it feel relevant among the competition. The fast fingerprint sensor and dedicated microSD card slot are added bonuses. It doesn't feel too heavy at 160 gram and is fairly slim at 7.3mm.

Specifications and features
Oppo has gone with MediaTek's MT6750 octa-core SoC which features eight ARM Cortex-A53 cores running at 1.5GHz. This chip is part of MediaTek's new entry-level lineup with
integrated LTE which was announced earlier this year. We got 41,244 points in AnTuTu and 21fps in GFXbench.

Other specifications include 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, dual-band Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, USB OTG, GPS, and FM radio. There's no NFC or Wi-Fi ac. The F1s supports 4G
LTE on Indian bands along with VoLTE support.

Just like the F1 Plus, the Oppo F1s runs on Colour OS 3.0, which makes Android look somewhat like Apple's iOS. This is fine by us, but what we don't like is that fact that OEMs are still serving up Android Lollipop today, which is now almost two generations old. We might see Marshmallow as an update down the line but it's always nice to have
the latest version at launch.

 Although people typically install it on their phones to chat privately with their Facebook friends, Facebook also uses Messenger to bring features and capabilities that might not make sense, or even be possible, as part of the main Facebook service. And of course, a separate app gives Facebook even more advertising and other moneymaking opportunities.

For that reason, Facebook is pushing users to download the app, even though it takes up valuable storage on the phone. The company recently started blocking access to Facebook messages from mobile web browsers on Android phones in some markets. The ban will extend to iPhones as well, though Facebook isn't saying when.

Before you complain, consider what a separate Messenger app offers beyond simply typing words and sending emoji back and forth:

1. Group chats
Messenger lets you easily add friends to group chats so you can make dinner or travel plans or just talk about your day. Although this is also possible using your browser,
 it's more convenient with the app. If kicking people off mobile browser messaging is the stick to prod people toward the app, the convenience of Messenger is the carrot to lure users.

Tapping the "groups" icon at the bottom of the screen will take you to existing group chats and let you start new ones. You can add people to group chats at any time, or
leave the group. If you have an often-used group chat, you can also "pin" it to the top of your messages to make it easily accessible.

2. Bots

Since April, Facebook has let outside businesses create "chat bots" that can send you the news or weather, help you shop for shoes or book plane tickets and hotel rooms.
 You send a message to a brand's bot just as you would a friend; the difference is that the reply is automated through software. The results can be clumsy, as expected
 for such a new venture.

But bots can be helpful. Expedia, for example, lets you search for hotels and book them by messaging with its bot. Start by telling the bot where you are going and when.
After some back and forth, the bot will give you hotel options. To book, the bot will take you to Expedia's website.

This is just the start. Perhaps one day, the bot will be more useful by letting you book directly through Messenger. David Marcus, Facebook's head of messaging products,
has called bots "overhyped in the short term and underhyped in the long term."

3. Send or request money
Using your debit card, you can send money to your Facebook friends using Messenger - as long as they also have their card number attached to their Facebook account.

You can also request money, in case your friends forgot to pay you for those movie tickets and aren't answering their email. To use the payments option, select the person
 you want money from and tap "payments." There are no extra fees to send or receive payments, but you must use a debit card - not a credit card.

4. Video calls

Messenger offers yet another way to do video calls on your phone. It's free over a Wi-Fi connection. If you use cellular, you might get charged for data by your phone company.

5. Play games
How about some soccer - or football, as it's known in most of the world? Select a friend to play with. Then, select Messenger's emoji keyboard by tapping on the emoji icon
on the left side of your message window, right above the keyboard. Tap the soccer ball icon and send it to your friend. Then, tap the ball with your finger and keep tapping
 it so it stays in the "air."

During a recent, frustrating attempt, I had a high score of just two - though that's still one more than what Portugal scored to win the Euro Cup this year.
