Lightning EarPods spotted blasting tunes in real life

A video has surfaced online, alleging to show Apple’s next-gen Lightning EarPods on an iPhone running iOS 9.

While we’ve heard rumors that the iPhone 7 may ditch the headphone jack, and have even seen blurry (and not-so-blurry) photos appearing to confirm the same thing, this is the first time a video has appeared to show off Apple’s forthcoming EarPods in all their 3.5mm jack-free glory. Check it out below.

Aside from the Lightning connection, the EarPods don’t seem to differ too much from the ones Apple currently makes, down to the ability to control playback and volume using an in-line button. However, the EarPod’s in-line microphone is not tested as part of the video.

Ultimately, they look legitimate enough — and it’s somewhat more difficult to fake would-be products in a video rather than a single image — but we won’t know for sure until Apple announces the iPhone 7 in early September.
