Fairbuds. The most important reason I will not support this model. Forcing me into their ecosystem by removing the headphone jack should not be what this company stands for. It is literally against their philosophy.
Bring back the jack.
If they do, we are talking again.
Although I agree with you that the headphone jack should be brought back, I dont think it's fair to say they're forcing you into their ecosystem.
Apple making apple watches only work with iPhones is forcing you into their ecosystem, but with this phone you can use any Bluetooth headphones.
OK, that's fair.
Well.. they do offer a usbC to jack in their online store (but you can buy from whoever you want).
But I guess usbC to usbC would work which would make sense if you're using your charging cable which is (more or less likely to be) an usbc to usbc cable.
I might be wrong tho, but we have usbC earbuds and headphones (or was it apple's lightning wired earbuds? I'm not sure)
But nontheless I think minijack would make for a more versitile device and I was a little dissapointed when I learned that Fairphone 4 does not have jack. Well FP5 does not have it either but I don't care, I can get jack to C adapter cable from my friend if I ever need it
