to be honest, I agree with you somewhat. but it's the best we got for now till a competitor comes along.

that being said though headphone jacks are SO annoying because they make noise and fall out so easily, I wish we could get a 2nd USBC instead.

also I'm gonna keep using my Pixel 8 till security updates run out then see how fairphone is doing. It was a tough decision to get the pixel but the fairphone 5 wasn't sold where I live back then :(

have you seen miad 01? it's more of a dac with a phone but they got 4.4mm, i think it's a cool idea

edit: idk what kinda jacks you had, maybe i'm not using it that much but i've never had one fall off, even on a phone that i reassembled before. what kind of failure point was it?
