On Wednesday, Apple CEO Tim Cook and other company luminaries and guests will host an event in San Francisco, and the featured product is widely expected to be a new smartphone, the iPhone 7. According to rumors, the new iPhone will have no headphone jack, may have two cameras on the back of the larger iPhone Plus, a new touch-sensitive home button, more storage, and maybe even better water resistance. Apple might also unveil a new Apple Watch. The company is also rolling out new operating systems for iPhones and iPads and for its Mac computers this fall.
The lack of a headphone jack may annoy or anger people, but CNET has a list of ways you will be able to listen to music and make hands-free calls even without a cord — even if Apple doesn't start including wireless earbuds with each new phone, as one rumor suggests. You can watch the Apple event live online, starting at 10 a.m. in San Francisco (1 p.m. on the East Coast). And you can catch up with all the rumors in the CNET video below. Peter Weber
