Apple replaced the headphone jack on the iPhone 7 with a fake speaker grill

The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus went on sale around the world on Friday.

That means some people have started to buy the phones only to immediately disassemble them, like the team at iFixit did early on Friday morning.

They bought an iPhone 7 Plus in Australia, as soon as it went on sale, and started taking it apart. And their teardown reveals what's in place of the headphone jack that Apple removed.

In short: nothing complicated, just some plastic. No speaker, and no electronics.

"In place of the headphone jack, we find a component that seems to channel sound from outside the phone into the microphone... or from the Taptic Engine out," they write.

Yep — in the place where the headphone jack used to be there's a piece of molded plastic. "No fancy electronics here, just some well-designed acoustics and molded plastic," iFixit writes.
