Despite all the other compromises with the FF6, I still was ready to buy it until I noticed the USB-C 2.0. Which means no Android Desktop and significantly slower data transfer than the USB-C 3.0 in FF5. The linked Discussion thread from the Fairphone forum has some interesting additional points.

Is this a dealbreaker for you? (It is for me, I'm ordering a different phone today..)

Yes, it has been said that choices were made to keep the price reasonable. But was this the case for every single component? Perhaps it was due to the higher cost of the USB 3 licence? Or perhaps it was because of the jack plug (for earphones/headphones), as this saves money, just as others are increasingly doing.
