So... the Fairphone?
fairphone would be so good if it had a headphone jack. but it seems really weird to me to launch a "sustainable phone" without a jack
Sorry to tell you but the headphone jack is dead. You can plug headphones into USB C if you don't want batteries.
Personally, I think that one standard port for everything on every phone is a good thing. That way everyone's efforts for development and optimization are bundled.
Lol, I can appreciate your commitment. We all have our white whales, mine are rear fingerprint and cordless charging. Edit: Also prefer as much plastic as possible. Make it lighter and less likely to break. I have a ceramic phone, it's pretty (when it's out of the case) but it's heavy. So breakage is more likely to happen. I also have a Moto E5. You can throw it across the room.
I've had probably 5 times as many USB C port failures as I have micro ports... And I've had like 5 phones with micro (which needed charging all the time) and 2 with C. I do think C is better overall, but I don't believe the durability claims. I already have a nice phone that really can't be used for much since the C port died, and it's part of the motherboard. Fortunately it has wireless, so I can use it for a spare device, just not a daily.
