I hate when 10 year olds on Tumblr talk like they know shit. They don't. They're 10 and are as dumb as your typical 10 year old. You wanna know about antioxidants and whether or not they're all that? Here:
Spoiler alert; antioxidants aren't recommended because we breathe oxygen and are setting ourselves on fire. 🙄 You'll also note that various alleged benefits require more research and study to confirm, as current information is inclusive.
Not only is this completely wrong, it doesn't even make sense with the context of the post the person you're replying to is asking about. 0/10 troll bait.
Feels like Epic should shoulder some of the blame here as well, considering they allowed the fossil fuel company in the game at all. Fuck both of these companies.
Do the adapters grow on trees? How does creating an entirely new and wholly unnecessary product line match up with any sort of sustainability standards? Seems pretty disingenuous to me. Try looking at the big picture and not just the actions of a single company in isolation.
Here we go again... I know adapters exist. I have one. If I didn't, my wired headphones and my wired aux port in my car would be unusable. If the large ecological footprint of an entire new product line that's completely unnecessary being spun up to use a whole bunch of excess materials that didn't need to be used to just keep the existing headphone jacks doesn't bother you, maybe you're the one throwing the whole sustainability argument out the window because you clearly don't give two shits about it.
Lol, what a tantrum. I responded directly to the points you raised and this epic rant is your reply.
For more cost? Headphone jacks are not even remotely expensive. Yes, they've been left out of a number of other phones for several years now. I and many others complained about it then and we're still complaining about it now. This isn't a Fairphone specific complaint, but it does suck to see yet another company go this route. And I promise you, headphone jacks have no bearing on the shit pay practices of the entire smartphone industry.
I didn't say headphone jacks don't ever fail. Maybe reread what I wrote before you go on a rant. Look up failure rates of headphone jacks vs other components and you'll see that they're not more prone to failure than other components. And why would the headphone jack in a Fairphone be soldered on? To make it repairable, shouldn't it be a separate module you can swap out if it does fail? By your own logic, they should take USB ports out of phones for the very same reasons they removed headphone jacks. And who knows, maybe that's where the market will go. As for me, my next phone will be a Sony Xperia, since they still make high end phones with SD card slots, headphone jacks, and have bezels for the front facing camera so you don't interrupt the screen. These are all features important to me, so that's where my money will go when it comes time to replace my 4 year old phone.
Also, great use of ad hominems and "you're all shills!" when you're confronted with things you can't refute. This thread isn't shit, but your poor grasp of logic, name calling, and goalpost shifting sure is. And yes, you can mute an entire post. The exact process will depend on if you're using the website or the specific app, but I'm sure if you go to the support community of whatever you're using and ask them in the same charming way you're speaking here, you'll get the help you need to mute this whole post.
It would be even more sustainable to not include the Bluetooth module. Less parts means less material use (making it greener) and less cost of materials as well (making it cheaper). The phone has speakers for audio anyway. Who wants to carry around some second accessory like headphones or earbuds? It's not like anyone has a perfectly valid use case for the Bluetooth module, right?
I have. They tend to be poorly shielded so you get all kinds of hiss and other shenanigans in the audio when you're charging and listening at the same time. The adapters exist, but I've yet to come across one that isn't terrible.
Fair and sustainable supply chains shouldn't mean I have to throw out perfectly good electronics at home, such as wired headphones, because this company wants to save a trivial amount of money. Keeping the headphone jack means a greater level of sustainability because I don't have to replace other fully functional electronics to use with this phone.
