iOS devices to use Lightning port for headphones ?

There are rumours about Apple ditching 3.5mm audio jack for lightning port to be used for headphones. Apple has introduced a new specification in MFI program that allow manufacturers to produce headphones that connects to iDevice using lightning port. The main advantage of this would be in designing the dimensions of the phone and would improve ergonomics of the phone. 3.5mm audio jack are always obstacle in making the phones slim enough.

This headphones will have that much efficiency of receiving  stereo 48khz digital audio output from iOS device and will be able to send 48khz mono digital audio input. Whatever it is this decision is controversial. And as reported by 9to5Mac, apple will push out a software update in future that will enable this support in devices running iOS 7.1 or later.
