    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/OpenTTD@lemmy.zip 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.
