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

      All ‘Aux’ stands for is auxiliary, which could technically mean a lot of different things depending on context; but we’re talking about phones, so it’s pretty commonly known to mean the auxiliary audio/headphone port. Ie; the 3.5mm TRS/TRRS socket used for audio output/input.

        I know what “aux” is short for, but what does the acronym AUX stand for? Auxiliary Useless Xenophobes?
