Apple has been granted a patent for new, wireless earbuds which may be delivered with the new iPhone 7. The earbuds can be used without a wire but still come with a wire that magnetically connects the earbuds to the iPhone. Since the headphone jacks aren't completely going away because not every device has Bluetooth, they are made to be detachable. The headphones are wireless when you want them to be and they have a wire when you need one. The patent doesn't necessarily mean that the earbuds will ship with the new iPhone, it's just an assumption. The headphones were last updated in March of 2012 so they require an update.

My favorite restaurant KiKu, it's a Japanese restaurant in Paramus, New Jersey. They have hibachi tables, so you can see them make your food in front of you. In addition, the have a sushi bar where they made fresh sushi. A lot of time people don't want to wait on line for the hibachi table nor the sushi bar and they do offer regular tables on the side which you can still order anything on the hibachi and sushi bar menu. Plus, they have private rooms so you don't have to be bother anyone else. They also have area where you can rent out for a party. Kiku has great Japanese cuisine. They offer miso soup on the house with the food. If one desire they can get salad or/and sushi. One can pick from having sushi or the hibachi grill food for their entree. Kiku has the classic sushi and sashimi plus, they have a few specialized. They offer a few dessert items. Also they have some Japanese drinks Kiku's Japanese cuisine is quite delicious. I usually just order shrimp tempura and dragon roll.
Kiku brings Japanese cuisine to us. They are a very modernized restaurant; it is a mom and pop restaurant.They are very clean and well organizes. Their workers and chiefs are very friendly. Kiku is very popular you usually need a reservation unless you don't care of waiting. Kiku is a very well recommended restaurant. If the place ever close done I will go to Park Ave Sushi and Sashimi in East Rutherford, it is a more casual place and their food is very well too.
