Fairphone Is Finally Selling Its Repairable Phone in the US

I’ll be that guy. No headphone jack, no sale. As others have said, I’d love GrapheneOS as well, but I know why that isn’t in the cards.

Is it not worth repairablity and potential headphone jack upgrades? Their pr is really moving quick now… 🤔

How would they sell a headphone jack upgrade?

That’s not the same thing. There’s also nothing worse than being on a long journey wanting to listen to music but needing to also charge your phone before you reach your destination.

it’s always something.

Listen man, if the phone doesn’t have a 3.5mm jack, IR Blaster, FM radio receiver, pop out rotating 6mp camera, micro SD slots, 2g compatibility, Native flash support and a physical keyboard that pops out like the fucking matrix, then it’s a complete piece of corporate shit and you’re a complete neo liberal bum bandit if you think otherwise…

I mean you’re obviously being sarcastic.

but why cant phones have a radio receiver? That would be super useful, and something I’d use often.

Some phones do have built in radio receivers. If that’s genuinely a feature you want, they’re available.

I’m not sayin it doesnt exist, to be clear, but the only phones I’ve ever seen that had built in radios were, like, asian market phones. Nothing that’d work on my area.
