    Because the entire point of fairphone is to not do those sorts of things.

    And there I am thinking the point of Fairphone was to not waste resources manufacturing components that only few people even want.

      Maybe it’s both. How come your okay with them making people throw away their perfectly good headphones?

        Or maybe not making everybody throw away their perfectly good headphones?

        “everyone”? That’s a very bold claim. I would assume they did market research and concluded that putting more components in all of their phones is more wasteful than manufacturing a limited number of USB-C adapters for those who actually want it. Again: They’d sell wired headphones if the demand was that high.

        Framework Computers also relegated the headphone jack to a USB-C adapter. There is clearly a wider shift in the industry.
