This isn't the first time this rumor has surfaced, and in this case, analysts cite personal supply chain connections as the basis for their prediction. The proposition also sounds logical, as the alternative of selling this converter separately isn't exactly a great tactic and could potentially incur heavy criticism and customer backlash.Moreover, the Deutsche Bank analysts place a sure bet on the iPhone 7 Plus featuring a dual-camera setup with enhanced zoom capabilities. While the handset's double camera vision has been consistently suggested by leaks, the part about magnification improvements is yet to be proven by leaked evidence. So whether it's enhanced imaging, a novel zoom … [Read more...] about Deutsche Bank analysts report Apple will bundle a Lighting to 3.5mm jack converter with the iPhone 7
