Apple drove a lot of people bonkers earlier this year when it killed the headphone jack on Watch The Fourth Body Onlinethe iPhone 7.

Then again, the new MacBook Pro already cut a lot of ports from previous models, including the SD card slot, forcing users to rely on a pile of dongles to make things work. It's possible that the headphone jack would be a bridge too far, but it's hard to argue against precedent.
Apple did not immediately respond to Mashable's request for comment about the headphone jack.
