Why manufacturers do not install headphone jacks on modern phones

In the most top-of-the-line smartphone models today, you won't find a headset connector – you can connect it to them

Headphones can only be used via Bluetooth.But why did this trend arise in the first place?Discuss

Leading mobile device manufacturers todayinstall headphone jacks mainly on budget versions of smartphones. If this continues, then in a few years, most phones will only be able to connect wireless headphones. But why does this happen at all?

According to an iXBT.com user, this is due to three factors.

  1. Promotion of wireless headphones. For example, this is what Apple did.They removed the jack from the iPhone so people would buy more AirPods. Moreover, representatives of the company note that such a change makes it possible for the device to receive protection according to the IP67 standard, however, the Galaxy S7 with a headphone jack also has protection, and according to the IP68 standard.

  1. Rejection of obsolete technologiesMost manufacturers believe that wired devices are a thing of the past and that they should be replaced by wireless headphones.However, today the wired ones are still better in terms of sound.

  2. Lack of space inside the smartphone. Manufacturers usually use free space to put some sensors on it or install a more powerful battery.
