Comment on The Fairphone 5 is less about what comes in the box and more about what you get over the years
Lazhward@lemmy.world 8 months agoYeah, the rage seems to usually stem from two misunderstandings:
- It forces you to use Bluetooth headphones.
- 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.
