  • Yeah, the rage seems to usually stem from two misunderstandings:

    1. It forces you to use Bluetooth headphones.
    2. A 3.5mm jack is cheap and trivial to build into a phone, so there’s little or no reason to not include it.

    You already pointed out why neither of those are legitimate reasons. For 1 you just need a simple dongle, not new headphones. For 2, because the Fairphone is modular and repairable, it’s not just the 3.5mm jack but also a custom replaceable daughterboard they’d have to develop and keep in stock.

    Not having a 3.5mm jack is a minor inconvenience at most, I don’t get the rage either.

    This idea that nobody on the internet is willing to pay for anything is outdated. Most people know that if it’s not money, they’re paying in data, time and/or attention. I much prefer paying with money, as do most people that use Proton, Kagi and other paid alternatives to free Google products.
