Google last year mocked Apple for removing 3.5mm audio jack from the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. It even went on to take a dig at Apple in one of its promo videos, stating “3.5mm headphone jack satisfyingly not new.” Cut to 2017, Google has removed the audio jack from its Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL phones, which launched on October 4. The Pixel 2 still comes with a headphone jack but we have moved to USB-C, a standard that is becoming commonplace in the best phones and laptops of today. The main thing to keep in mind is that Pixel 2 devices are compatible with USB-C headphones that support digital audio,” he added. The company has also launched wireless Bluetooth headphones, Pixel Buds, which unsurprisingly seem inspired by Apple’s AirPods.
