No Jack. No sales.
We moved from Apple when they removed Jack to HTC and then they made the same choise so we went to OnePlus.
We have since then bought over 10000 units per year and will not choose another supplier unless we are forced to.
Company policy and EU law dictates. phone must be placed in a Holder in the car and company policy stats that we won't spend 200$ on wireless ear buds that last 6months when we can buy ear buds with 3.5 or 2.5mm cable for 50$ with higher quality and better sound. Both USB-C and Jack is needed for safe and best driving on the streets.
No plug no sale. that's it...
On another note.
You know state that suddenly the numbers have changed from 88% to 41%. that's in my opinion poor quality in research. The numbers them self tells you that you have done poor research either the first or last time.
In any way. Can OnePlus risk to loose 41% of their customer basis.
We buy these phones for three major reasons.
1. Jack
2. Reasonable price
3. Best battery on market
We don't need a bigger battery since we can charge the phone to 100% in 30minutes. I say smaller battery rather and have the possibility of changing it out by our selfs when it gets to old.
The generally poor quality in BlueTooth is the biggest issue. Loss of signal.
Poor range.
Disconnection issues
Outside disturbances
I my self never uses BlueTooth and will wait until someone finally realize that ear buds should run on WLAN instead of BT so we can connect to any PC/Laptop/Phone/Smart-TV and 5000000 other devices.
That's something to wish for instead of trying to perfect BT that runs on the same frequency as a million the things that disturbs the range and quality.
