You can get a phone jack adapter for $5 moron.

It's like complaining a new PC doesn't come with USB-A and only USB-C.
Design decisions shouldn't always be up to the end user. Every single option can't always be included forever and ever.
If you want wired for quality, you need a DAC anyway. If you want wired otherwise, leave the adapter on your headphones.
Don't let your inability to adapt stifle actual developmental progress.
Because everyone in the supply chain is being paid a fair wage and not being exploited.
Based on what? Cost? The whole premise is sustainability and ensuring the people who build it aren't working sweatshop workers like with every other major phone. I say this knowing full well I'm using one of those phones but Fairphone has only recently become available in my country.
So it depends on if you want a bad deal by parting with some extra dollars or it's a bad deal for the workers that are getting exploited so you save a few dollars.
Ok, Fairphone lied I guess. You obviously no better than the manufacturers. It's not like other phones with those jacks likely cost more to water proof those jacks or anything. Everything is always exactly the same and doesn't cost extra to do anything differently.
You have $5 options.
It allowed them to increase the IP rating, allows for simplified manufacturing, and easier maintainability and repairability.
How is not including it considered greenwashing (I notice you didn't ask about that, so I assume you know the answer)?
I despise people repeating comments. How is making the device cheaper, more sustainable, and more reliable greenwashing? I would love anybody who just loves complaining about the headphones jack to explain that. No one else has. I doubt anybody complaining really cares about the environment either. What phone do you currently have?
An article I came across said there are no plans for the 5 in the US, so not at the moment at least.
Weird. I could have sworn software comes on it too. Your phone doesn't have software?
Sorry, didn't realize the world revolves around the extreme minority when discussing what's good for the human race as a whole.
You're right. How could anyone ever make any argument against anecdotal case by case stories. Obviously the entire collected data on human nutrition is useless as a whole because it doesn't apply to small percentages of the population. Oh silly me and not understanding that general concepts aren't important.

This post has devolved into shit and filled with a bunch of whiners complaining about the same dumb shit that isn't a goal of this phone. Might as well whine the new iPhone doesn't cost under $400 for as reasonable of a complaint anything on this post is.
