【Watch Fast & Furious 6 Online】
Apple drove a lot of people bonkers earlier this year when it killed the headphone jack on Watch Fast & Furious 6 Onlinethe iPhone 7. Its just-unveiled MacBook Pros maintain the classic port, but experts at iFixit, an online tech repair site known for its detailed "teardowns" of products, say this could be the last time.

Apple did not immediately respond to Mashable's request for comment about the headphone jack.
