The Fairphone 6 no longer feels like a compromise (except in the US)

The Fairphone 6 is the most repairable yet, but also the most powerful, and the first I can easily recommend — though it’s a trickier sell for US buyers.

I find it interesting how every post I see on Lemmy about Fairphone always has half of the comments complaining about the lack of a head home jack, but in real life I don’t know a single person that really laments it’s removal. All the people I personally know are fine with Bluetooth headphones. This is just such a loud minority, it’s impressive. I know that there is overlap between people that want a headphone jack and people that want a repairable phone, but still, I feel it’s way over-represented in the comments.

Up until I got an amazing pair of bluetooth headphones I would also fall under the loud minority. I still want the option on any device I own, but I haven’t been using wired ones much outside of things like my Sega Genesis.

Definitely agree the loud minority feels overrepresented, but I’m personally siding with them.

At first, I was like, “…How did I never know it has one of those?” until I realized I have a model 2.
