This this this.
They want to sell their buds and headset.
don’t misunderstand me, those are great repairable bluetooth devices, but if i were to not have a headphone jack and just a “long lasting repairable phone” , i’m sticking to my Google pixel.
I doubt it’s some conspiracy, but it does still suck. I’m on my 3rd USB port on my fp4 because I use wired earphones. Replaceable USB port was my initial reason for buying a fair phone otherwise I’d likely be buying a new phone every year.
USB C is not up to that kind of use, and BT ear buds suck…
They want to sell their buds and headset.
Not sure if it still is that way, but when i bought my FP4 years ago, free buds were included.

Just get a cheap usb c -> 3.5mm adapter. Problem solved.

First of all no, i dont want to carry a dongle as i may plug in multiple headsets.
Second of all, i want to charge my phone while listening to music, and i want even less to carry a doubling d’ongle
Third of all, i fail to see the “eco responsible” part of needing to buy more things than nécessary, then wearing down needlessly the usb-c over time.
So, with all due respect, piss off

You’re going to plug in multiple headsets to your phone in regularly? You can’t just have a cheap dongle on those headsets’ cables?
Funny how almost everyone in here saying they need the 3.5mm jack also just happens to have a dozen pairs of headphones they use every day lol.

So much for eco responsibilty to buy dongles that could be avoided and wear usb-c.
