How could you charge your phone and listen to music simultaneously?
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?
But what if I want to play music at a party?
Use Bluetooth.
But my current set of headphones won't work!
Get a new pair. Think that's ridiculous? Most people buy new headphones pretty often, it's not that hard to imagine that in a year's time when the iPhone 7 comes out that people who don't currently have Bluetooth headphones (which would work anyway) or a lighting port compatible set of headphones that aren't satisfied with the set that ship with the iPhone (probably not an overwhelming percentage) wouldn't buy a new set.

- bweitzman 11y agoBluetooth is tolerably good but a headphone jack works so much better if you're listening on headphones IMO Not to mention that most companies making medium-to-high end headphones are not even dealing with bluetooth.
- 6stringmerc 11y agoLooks like a few are in the market (my favorite being Sennheiser) but the prices are, from what I can tell, 2x what a comparable corded headphone set would run. Yikes.
- KirinDave 11y agoCan I just be honest for a second? No one actually cares about the "I want to DJ at a party!" usecase that badly. Those people that do will carry the right cables, like they already probably have to. Seriously, pretending that's an important use case is what lead Google to invent the Nexus Q and no one cared about that even though it was a stunning device.

My guess would be something more akin to the current hdmi dongle, which has a power input as well as hdmi out. http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MD826AM/A/lightning-digital-av-adapter http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MD826AM/A/lightning-digita...
