ABC NewsMail - Morning Edition

Good morning. Here's what's happening now:

The wired headphone could be a thing of the past if Apple has its way. The company has launched the iPhone7 without the 3.5mm headphone jack, a move which could spell the end of wired headphones all together

Here's what's coming up:

  • 7:38am AEST: Christopher Pyne will be on Radio National

  • 10:00am AEST: UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson will host talks with the Syrian opposition

  • 10:00am AEST: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will appear at the Commander-in-Chief Forum

  • 2:30pm AEST: Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull will attend the local East Asia Summit in Vientiane, Laos
