    No earphone jack again. That’s a bit sad. Even though I mainly use BLT earbuds, I still sometimes wish I could use my wired headphones. It’s just a small inconvenience

      “Modularity” but still no headphone jack, couldn’t I just have a backplate with a big bump on it to accommodate a 3.5mm jack?

        Big? The headphone jack is not large enough to protrude from a cell phone chassis. Any company telling you they can’t fit it is just lying to sell you BT headphones.

      I never use wired headphones even though I have a jack in my phone. But I have never bought a phone without a jack and probably never will.

      Ipersonally think it’s user hostile to remove the jack and also goes directly agains the green profile Fairphone wants to have.

      I was just hoping a phone like fairphone would give me the option to buy a small module or something to let me do it.

      Yes, yes there’s adapters … yes, yes, you don’t need to use it … I understand. I just want it.

      Probably not a popular thing to say on here, but I think you’ve lost the battle for the earphone jack. It probably just requires way too much real estate to be practical on a modern day cell phone.
