OnePlus conducted a survey in early 2017 that confirmed 80% users use in-jack headphones but the number dropped to 59% in 2018. It shows that people are now switching to wireless headsets. OnePlus doesn’t want to disappoint users who still prefer wired earphones. So, it is shifting to Type C Bullets.
OnePlus has already confirmed that OnePlus 6T will come with under-display fingerprint sensor. Now this new addition suggests the possible removal of headphone jack from the phone. It am still saying possible removal, because there is no clear statement about this from the company. If this happens, it will be quite interesting because OnePlus’ CEO Pete Lau assured the community on the company’s official forums that the 3.5mm headphone jack was an essential part of the phone.
