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
Downvoting, not a unpopular opinion. I have never ever heard anyone outside of lemmy/the other place complaint about the jack…
Actually, most people love BT buds.
I also suspect the whole jack thing is a “I am a special snowflake” thing.
No, it’s a I want to play audio from my phone to my car thing. Or I want to watch a movie without audio delay.
I have an old car that I can only connect to via aux cable 🤷♀️
I didn’t get my current phone cause it has an aux jack, but I’m glad it does have it
I have an old car and recently spent 60 EUR on a simple radio that has DAB and Bluetooth. Should have made that upgrade way sooner.
Totally legit use case, but do not changes my answer, it is a still a not super common problem, even “old” cars (starting mid 2000) have BT.
There is still a lot of pre 2000 cars around, but still not enough for a company like FairPhone to even consider an AUX (imho)
Also, there are BT recicers that connect to an 3.5.Jack.
I hate being out of battery tho :(
Always happens with BT headphones.
I got 2 pairs + extra case cause of that 🤣.
And I got one pair that doesn’t use a battery.
And mine don’t have wires.
Modern wires aren’t a hassle though, unless you live in one of those black and white infomercials. Buying and carrying around extra devices is.
Don’t know, I hate them bouncing on me and getting tangled in thing. Going to the gym or running or climbing/bouldering with wires is a recipie for getting your wire tabgled and ripped off you.
If youre just walking or sitting, sure, wire is not a hassle.
Also, hearing/seeing something at a PC and going somewhere without the need of stopping the video/music and still hearing (say, while you get smth from the kitchen) is very pratical.
🤷♀️ I’m happy I have it
Tbh I dont own a car but I’d rather have a bluerhootheless oldie as the overcomplicated subscriptions traps that we are fabricating today
