Let me answer for yiu... They won't cause it is costly for them and they don't want customer to keep phone longer than 1,2 years..

              This is a classic example of a company capitalizing on the moronic sense of another!
              A simple 3.5mm jack which has been around for YEARS, has now been made into one of THE MOST desirable features...
              If these companies are so hell bent on USB-C audio, why are they even making adapters and not even making USB-C headphones?
              I guess wireless audio would not be preferred by many die to its cost-quality trade-off

                    This is the innovation we deserved. 2 USB-Cs where one is meant for charging and the other one is meant for music. That is the solution to stop those 3.5mm jack cuckolds cucking every comment.

                      Why anybody feels the need to discuss it? EVERYONE has a device to plug it in so it makes sense to keep it. No discussion needed.

                      It should be Apple and others discussing why they turned many times significant investments of their users into incompatible trash.

                          Funny how in a year or two they will remove it with the argument of "technology moves forward". Like last year google were making fun of apple and the headphone jack with the pixel, and with this one they backed on their own word.
                          I don't see why Oneplus would fare any better with this trend going forward.
