I'm saying it is very hypocritical and goes against their brand. If they simply came out and said: Look guys making phones sustainably cost too much, we need to sell higher margin items like dongles, BT earbuds and cases to have enough cashflow to continue manufacturing and R&D.
Ok, fair enough. I would say.
But trying to justify and greenwashing the whole ordeal is insulting. The tactic is straight out of Apple's "Think different" book. Paying more for reduced functionality. Only for them to sell you more accessories for even more money.
That's a definite advantage of the Fairphone.
I guess, I will find out how mine fares when the need arises. Hasn't happened in 4.5 years yet.
And an attack on his character is of zero relevance to the topic of Fairphone and jack ports.
Of course they are going to offer dongles too! The profit margins are way better on those. Fuck what the users want, we want money!

Very strange how mine can somehow fit a 7000mAh battery, dual SIM + SD card slot and a regular jack. Hmm...
All I needed to know was when they released their BT earbuds just when the jack port got removed to figure out where their priorities are.
I haven't used those. But KDE Plasma is also similar, so I guess, yes.
Yeah, cinnamon has a windows-like taskbar, startmenu and icon tray.
I have to buy them? Every replaceable and repairable stuff is manufactured and has an impact.
I don't have any of those, for related reasons. The best one can do is to consume less and less often.
Buying a USB-C-2-Jack dongle or BT headset is anything but eco-friendly. It goes straight against the whole brand if you need to buy new stuff in addition to make it work.
