          Its a bit funny how I find that model to be too big. People like me have definitely been abandoned from the market.

          But thanks for the recommendation. I ended up grabbing an older model that still works as a low end phone, but I wonder for how long I will be able to use older phones…

            It’s definitely larger than I’d like but damned if the manufacturers haven’t heard our demands and realised that, once again, compactness is a premium feature. You can get an itty bitty iPhone or S23 but fuck all in the mid range. Thanks again, The Market!

      That’s just a Thinkpad. If they keep making them smaller eventually it will fit in your pocket.

            They had to, I’m guessing. At this point nobody is manufacturing headphone jack hardware for smartphones.

                Then it’s likely cheaper to make a bluetooth headphones phone than include a 3.5mm jack? Or they could just be greedy, although I would hope FairPhone won’t turn to the dark side so soon.

                Excuse me, this is meant to be an admin account for c/[email protected] so I’ll have to return to whence I came.

                  I’m thinking Fairphone saw the trend and decided to make a profit. I don’t see how removing headphone jacks is beneficial for the consumer.

                  You’re probably right, there are reasons stopping them, it’s not necessarily a conspiracy of phone makers.

                  Just got the notification for a post you made 10 minutes after mine…
