While they were happy with what the fairphone 4 brought to the table, they seem to like what was changed for the fairphone 5.
What are you guys' opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?

Ancient tech? Looks at literally every laptop and desktop sold.

I can't tell you if any of my laptops have a 3.5mm jack. If they do, I'd rather have another USB-C port instead. And arguing that just because it's still used in desktop computers, then it can't be ancient, I'd like to draw your attention toward the rs232 port that still isn't phased out entirely.

Why would I buy a device missing a key component

In case I missed it, would you like to point out where exactly you're being forced to buy a specific phone?

I happen to be writing this on an android 13 phone with a 3.5mm jack (I had to check, but it's there), it's not like you can't get a phone with the connector.
