Or the dongles you’ll lose. It’s the only reason I didn’t buy the Fairphone 4 and will never get the next one. I don’t understand how you can market sustainability and fixable stuff without the headphone jack.
I’ve never had a 3.5mm connector break on me. Those little lightning jacks though? You drop your phone once and it’s over. I can’t imagine USB C is any better
Oh, you mean USB headphones? TBH, way overly complex compared to analog with (albeit negligible) audio quality loss, which still works with legacy tech going back decades. It’s like arguing a bicycle is obsolete because motorcycles exist.
You did, because you’re assuming that you can only choose one or the other. Even though it’s been demonstrated that the headphone jack does not require much space, can even be added to phones that don’t have it (check out Strange Parts on yt) and does not have any drawbacks.
Hate to be that person but no headphone jack for a sustainable phone?

am i seriously the only one that uses usb-c headphones? why is everyone immediately jumping to bluetooth?
I know it’s a crutch, but there’s always a USB-C to 3.5mm converter. There are some versions sold that still keep the charging port.
Then give me 2 usb c ports on the phone.i can compromise with that
Exactly. I don’t care if it’s 3.5mm or usb-c, it’s the quantity of ports that matters.
My phone came with usb-c earphones.
Is that not an acceptable compromise?
Works fine for me.
There are headphones that use the USB port. Headphone jacks are kinda dead tech at this point.

Credit card reader hooked into headphone jack is a dead tech too now that the rest of the world have moved on from mag stripe to chip and pin.
These are both solved via USB headsets tho?

If you buy this phone, you’re exclusively buying it for sustainability, so you’re already accepting an inferior product.
There’s no reason to cling to headphone jacks as if those are somehow a worthwhile technology.

For dead tech they sure do sell a shit ton of dongles
You can still buy DVD players, which means people still buy DVD players, but that doesn’t make it not dead tech
But how many though?
Idk hopefully not many. I’m not enthused by dead tech.
I’ve gone through 3 of these on my iphone, they’re flimsy as hell
All headphones you plug in are.

USBC is so much better though, never had one break on me ever.
Audio quality loss and latency are built into Bluetooth. Its only advantage is not having a wire.
I’m not talking about Bluetooth at all tho
Oh, you mean USB headphones? TBH, way overly complex compared to analog with (albeit negligible) audio quality loss, which still works with legacy tech going back decades. It’s like arguing a bicycle is obsolete because motorcycles exist.
If bicycles and motorcycles competed for the exact same role, with an opportunity cost allowing only one, how would bicycles not be obsolete?
What a dumb analogy.
I didn’t choose the analogy.
You did, because you’re assuming that you can only choose one or the other. Even though it’s been demonstrated that the headphone jack does not require much space, can even be added to phones that don’t have it (check out Strange Parts on yt) and does not have any drawbacks.
That opportunity cost is not a thing.
