If you are planning to upgrade to this year's iPhone, it is time you get your own wireless headphones, because Apple ain't planning on bundling one.

A research note has revealed that the 2018 iPhone models will not be bundled with the 3.5mm to Lightning port headphone dongle, The Verge reported.

While it remains to be seen if Apple actually skips on selling these in-the-box, a dongle-less iPhone is a push towards a wireless headphone (read AirPods) future the company wants us to see.
