I see a lot of people complaining that the Fairphone 6 doesn’t have an Aux jack.
Just use an adapter cable.
A 3.5mm Aux jack takes up a significant amount of space just to connect a few wires that could be connected through USB-C anyway, that space could be used for a bigger battery.
Even if there was a good enough reason to keep Aux it should be 2.5mm Aux and not the usual 3.5 as it does exactly the same thing but uses less space
Choosing isn’t really an option for poor people. My phone was over 5 years old, unsupported, and the battery stopped charging. I was forced to get a new phone. I didn’t choose to.
My car was what I could afford after my last car needed more work than it’s bluebook value for the 3rd time that year. I had to get a ‘new’ car, and it’s very used. I didn’t get to look for a car that had great audio options. Hell it doesn’t even have 4 working speakers.
My preference is for the highest quality.
My reality is that wired audio works all the time and it’s affordable.
This is totally reasonable.
If the issue is money, we can just say “support aux bc a large population can’t afford to swap,” a lot of this thread seems to be poverty masquerading as purism. It’s the purism I can’t understand.
