    I’m pretty sure that DACs and 3.5mm jacks are still being manufactured

      Then it’s likely cheaper to make a bluetooth headphones phone than include a 3.5mm jack? Or they could just be greedy, although I would hope FairPhone won’t turn to the dark side so soon.

      Excuse me, this is meant to be an admin account for c/OpenTTD@lemmy.zip so I’ll have to return to whence I came.

        I’m thinking Fairphone saw the trend and decided to make a profit. I don’t see how removing headphone jacks is beneficial for the consumer.

        You’re probably right, there are reasons stopping them, it’s not necessarily a conspiracy of phone makers.

        Just got the notification for a post you made 10 minutes after mine…
