While they were happy with what the fairphone 4 brought to the table, they seem to like what was changed for the fairphone 5.
What are you guys' opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?

I want the headphone jack back.

Lack of one is an immediate showstopper for me, too.

Genuinely curious, is it the lack of Bluetooth earphones? I can't remember the last time I saw someone using wired earphones

It was definitely a showstopper when Apple first did it because most people were still using wired earphones, but these days everything is wireless

The delay inherent to bluetooth headphones is unbearable for me

Also, you know, wired headphones don't have batteries

BT delay is such a pain in games. And honestly for me not needing fucking batteries for every damn device in my life is a highly preferred feature. Fucking hate that every device has a separate time limit that I have to keep track of.
