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.

Yeah, no jack no thanks …

Not a deal breaker for others but it is for me. Their rationale saying that the USB-C is more resilient than the jack is weird because I’ve never had the jack fail and even if it does isn’t that why you’re selling a repairable phone to me …?

Anyways, I see they’re selling earbuds so I’m going to assume that that’s their main motivator.

I’ve had several 3.5mm jacks fail. I’ve yet to have a USBC port fail, but I’ve also had fewer USBC ports and for fewer years.

Oh oh oh I can do this one.

6 USB-C port failures in my 1.75 years with the phone.

Fuck HMD Global (then Nokia brand) and their absolute trash USB ports.
