Is Sony joining the "ditch the jack port" movement that started with Apple a few years ago? 

Seems so, as according to a table from the FCC (Federal Communications Commission), which has this week been reviewed by Xperia blog, the latest Sony headset has ‘no' marked next to ‘Jack port' and in fact the charging port will double up for both USB Type C and Audio connectors. Furthermore, there is also a diagram that suggests that there will be no individual jack port.
