In a separate video ed by MobileFun, the anticipated Lightning-powered EarPods get showcased in their full glory. They work just like normal earphones, except for the Lightning connector. In addition to all these leaks, there's a separate report from Forbes confirming the addition of the Lightning-powered EarPods in the box accessories, but is also indicating that Apple will launch new wireless Bluetooth headphones as well.

The Bluetooth headphones, presumably with the Beats branding, will be launched as an alternative to the Lightning-powered EarPods. The report claims that Apple has been working on a Bluetooth chip in-house for many years. This effort began soon after the acquisition of if Semiconductor in 2013. Apple's chip will make the wireless headphones stay connected to the iPhone for a longer time, using less power to doing so. The Bluetooth wireless headphones are expected to survive 'all-day', just like the Apple Watch.

The report also states that Apple had plans to launch the Bluetooth headphones last year but got delayed due to performance snag. However, it is very likely to launch these headphones alongside the iPhone launch this year.

Due to minimal design tweaks, the iPhone is also rumoured to be called the iPhone 6SE. Apple is expected to host the launch event on September 5 or 6, with the smartphone hitting the markets by September 16.
