Apple stirred up a controversy back in 2016 with the omission of the standard 3.5mm headphone jack from the iPhone 7. Instead of the jack, the phone came bundled with wireless EarPods and a dongle that would allow users to plug in their old headphones.
According to data from the NPD Group, Bluetooth headphone sales started overtaking non-Bluetooth sales as early as 2016, boosted mainly by Beats.
In 2018, Samsung is the only major player that has kept the plug, with their newest offering, the Note 9.
