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

    I hate how small the USB-C connector is though! They’re fragile and wear out pretty quickly. Everybody discounts the round barrel jack size as if it’s a bad thing, i think it’s the exact opposite. It’s large and the internal contacts are similarly large which keeps them working forever lol

      Usb C is far more resilient than the micro B connectors it replaced. What are you doing to your type C ports that makes them wear out? Could just be dust stuck in there, easy to scrape out with a toothpick
