Huawei had recently launched a survey regarding an upcoming product. It was a survey for a new wireless headphones, although, the part that caught our attention is the question regarding whether users thought that the USB Type C cable was required in the box.
In the survey, the Chinese tech giant asked the question regarding the charging habits of its userbase. This had the company state that users’ smartphone, tablet or electronic device is equipped with a Type C Charging port and arrives with a charging cable, but it also asked that “Do you think the Type-C charging cable in the wireless headset box is necessary.” This might be indicative of the company’s plans to soon remove the charging cable from future products as well, similar to Apple, and its recent decision to remove charging cables from its iPhone 12 lineup’s retail box.

Notably, the Huawei FreeBuds Studio Wireless Headphones from the company arrives with a USB Type C charging cable in the box. However, its recent questions showcase that the company could soon change this practice. The survey also asks other questions like at what price range for the wireless headphones, does the user accept not receiving a Type C charging cable. Furthermore, it even asked if the box does not arrive with a charging cable, how much would it affect your intent of purchasing the product, as per an ITHome report.
Interestingly, the nature of the survey is quite similar to a recent Apple survey that we covered last week. In the Apple survey, the company asked if the user preferred Touch ID or Face ID on iPhones. A similar survey earlier this year is also what had the company decide not to ship EarPods and charging adapter with its 2020 iPhone lineup as well. So, we might soon see other companies like Huawei follow in the Cupertino based giant’s footsteps.
