Just out of interest, because I too love the jack, then what are you buying in the future?

You don't have to buy a new fair phone just because you bought the last one.

It's doubtful that someone buying a new phone now would want to buy the fair phone from 2+ years ago.

So a "phone" without any ability to connect to mobile networks or to WiFi?

If they didn't buy a previous fairphone, you're going to miss all the people who wanted to try it but didn't want a 5 year old phone tech. I imagine most people replace around 3-5 years due to battery degradation, people dropping their phones, or lack of updates

Thank you!

Fair enough, feel free to buy USB-C headphones then.

Edit: Time for the real reply.

I never have to charge my wired headphone.

But you still have to charge your phone. When I charge my phone I also charge my headphones. Most wireless headphones notify you in advance when they're running low, in my experience enough in advance to not run out before charging again. And finally, charging even once a day is still less overhead than having to manage wires every single time you use the headphones.

Nor do I have to buy new batteries or new headphones when they die

Yeah, you only buy new headphones when the wire gets damaged because that one time you didn't take good enough care of the wire. I personally had to buy a new set of headphones every year because I'm bad with wires. I'd either store them poorly because I was in a hurry or they'd get stuck on something and get yanked. My first BT headphones lasted me 5 years before starting to have noticeable battery issues and then I still used them for another 3 years before the battery was so dead it wouldn't live my daily commute.

overall my response boils down to "just use wired then" because the arguments are silly personal preference arguments and the wider consumer market has already decided that wireless is better. But if you want wired nothing is stopping you from getting USB-C wired headphones.

Are you a murican? Cuz you really sound like USA is your whole world.

So they should overproduce just in case? All I care about as a consumer is that I can buy replacement parts.

FYI, you can disable the icons you don't want/need using (https://github.com/zacharee/Tweaker). Although that doesn't solve the actual problem...

Exactly. Framework does it correctly; fairphone does not.

they are beeing manufactored. The battery is avaible again at the end of june. That means that it got produced in the last months.

Think of it as a generous donation

Use Calyx OS and re-lock the bootloader.

they stop selling parts quickly

The new EU regulations should force them to keep parts available.

Yeah lol.

It's not about being pixel specific. They built high security OS that uses HW components to deliver that high security. It can't be delivered without them. These components are not google patented nor does GrapheneOS demands they use the exact pixel ones. GrapheneOS just refuses to lower security to support phones that lack these components, because manufacturers wanted to save maybe a $1 per phone by not including them at the expense of user security.

Idk man. you think the folks who killed themselves can put a review on a corporate shill website that's been known to remove reviews for the right price?

They are easily repairable and you don't have to throw them away if the battery goes bad (just replace it).

How is that a bad thing? About 90% of other brands you can throw them away if the battery goes bad or they break.

Not putting in a 3.5mm jack says enough. They sell Bluetooth earbuds I wouldn't call that "fair". It leads to more landfill. Phones with 3.5mm jacks also have BT, and don't start about USBC singles, that's more to buy and more landfill when they inevitable break.

How is that a bad thing?

I have to buy them? Every replaceable and repairable stuff is manufactured and has an impact.

About 90% of other brands you can throw them away if the battery goes bad or they break.

I don't have any of those, for related reasons.
The best one can do is to consume less and less often.

Buying a USB-C-2-Jack dongle or BT headset is anything but eco-friendly. It goes straight against the whole brand if you need to buy new stuff in addition to make it work.

Motorola or whatever, depends what's available within budget at the time I need the phone.
