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

    Totally legit use case, but do not changes my answer, it is a still a not super common problem, even “old” cars (starting mid 2000) have BT.

    There is still a lot of pre 2000 cars around, but still not enough for a company like FairPhone to even consider an AUX (imho)

    Also, there are BT recicers that connect to an 3.5.Jack.

              Modern wires aren’t a hassle though, unless you live in one of those black and white infomercials. Buying and carrying around extra devices is.

                Don’t know, I hate them bouncing on me and getting tangled in thing. Going to the gym or running or climbing/bouldering with wires is a recipie for getting your wire tabgled and ripped off you.

                If youre just walking or sitting, sure, wire is not a hassle.

                Also, hearing/seeing something at a PC and going somewhere without the need of stopping the video/music and still hearing (say, while you get smth from the kitchen) is very pratical.

                  1. The old ways are perhaps forgotten. To prevent catching in general, especially in say a gym, one just tucks the wire under the shirt.

                  2. PC uses nice wired bookshelf speakers, which beat most headphones, wired or wireless.
