> Then they flushed nearly all of it down the toilet. The day they stopped posting factory images was the day I saw the writing on the wall.

For me, it was when the killed the headphone jack with the OnePlus 6T. Around the time OP6 was released, the then CEO Carl Pei posted a poll around the headphone jack - a overwhelming majority of users said they used/wanted the jack - something like 80%+). Then they go ahead and release the 6T (and subsequent models) with no jack. At this point most of the OG fans (including myself) felt incredibly betrayed and vowed to never buy another OnePlus again. And soon, Carl Pei himself left the company and it's been downhill ever since.

The OP6 was their last good phone which actually lived up to their "flagship killer" premise without compromising on features.
