    Because the entire point of fairphone is to not do those sorts of things. I’d rather not see them go the way of enthusiast phones and use greenwashing to get them popular so they can turn around and be another unethical smartphone giant. It’s worthwhile to call them out on stuff like this.

      And there I am thinking the point of Fairphone was to not waste resources manufacturing components that only few people even want.

        Maybe it’s both. How come your okay with them making people throw away their perfectly good headphones?

            Why would I throw away my perfectly good wired headphones because a phone removes the audio jack?

            (The dongles sound measurably better than 90% of the headphones jacks on phones).
