Environmentally friendly and fairly sourced, except for the consumable blue tooth earbuds we will sell you as a consumable to push our profits while creating e-waste.
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.
No, because I own earphones and cables and don’t want to create more waste if I can help it. Plus, I may want to connect the audio out to an existing stereo system, and plug it in to charge at the same time.
I appreciate that more cables equals more waste and inconvenience. But your situation is more than likely not an issue for the majority. The options are out there. The arguments from some in here that a usbc to Aux is easy to lose is subjective. I’ve never lost mine, and it’s been just fine whenever I’ve needed it.
If you want something to connect your phone to a stereo whilst retaining the ability to charge then there are adapters that have an auc outpit and usbc input that can work as well as systems, like one called wiim, that you connect to your wifi and aux into your stereo/speakers that can play music from most wifi enabled devices losslessly. Both of these options would be fairly futureproof as they would work with any new phone, stereo/speakers, or other device, regardless of which you upgrade.
I know that it’s another thing to add on and costs kore money, but frankly, being angry about the lack of aux outputs on phones isn’t going to change anything.
You can either complain and achieve nothing or adapt and make any phone you choose to buy work for you and your specific needs.
If the audio output on this phone is the only concern you have, then i think it’s a small price to pay to support the many aspects of this phone that prevent explotation of workers and sustainability of materials etc.
That’s only one concern I have for this phone. The biggest concern is value to cost ratio. I’m willing to pay a premium for replaceable parts and longer support, but not if the design is substandard and the components are not there.
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.
