Disagree. The 3.5 mm jack that takes up space in my pocket that is unused 100% of the time is the inconvenience. You want a jack. You can have one. You get to have the inconvenience that goes along with it.
Well I've got a solution for you!
Just insert this adapter into the 3.5mm jack and it will be blocked for you. It'll no longer be wasted space because this adapter is a useful place to store several grains of rice for a snack.
Unfortunately you do lose a feature as a result of using this adapter, it will stop one of the speakers from working and degrade your audio quality.
But you shouldn't complain about anything removing a feature, or degrading your audio quality. You've got a new feature of being able to store rice!
You can even buy special fairphone sustainable rice from us. With only a small 300% mark up but an incredible 80% of the sustainability of already available rice. It comes in green!
The fuck you talking about.
The complaint is "phones don't have headphones jacks"
Presuming I was on your side,
Homie, you got rice storage with the old jacks. An adapter doesn't introduce this problem.
Homie, this is how headphones work. You plug them in and the speakers stop working. If your audio quality is dropping something is wrong.
Homie, again the data jack on USB C is more than fast enough to push FLAC through. If you're losing quality it's not the architecture.
This is you projecting. While this is on an article about fair phone, I'm only here to inform you that your nonsense complaint about 3.5 mm jacks is silly. It is valid, sure, but fucking silly anyways.
I'm sorry, I started joking because you weren't being serious either.
Wait, you were being serious?
