The new fairphone 5 came out, it looks cool but the price is really, really high…
If it’s a phone that can really last 10 years it could be good, but is that true? Is it worth it? I could get the one with /e/os from Murena because i want a degoogled phone with a bootloader locked, but is it usable on a daily basis?
I don’t have a source ready with me to back up my statement. But at least here in India, almost everyone I see in public transportation use wireless earbuds. Usually I look like the odd one out for wearing wired earphones.
You absolutely don’t need to go out and buy a new headphones if your phone doesn’t have an audio jack. Just buy a dongle. Yes, I’m aware that this is worse for the planet than just including an audio jack in the phone. But if you buy a dongle once, you don’t have to worry about your future phones not having a headphone jack. So in the long run, this move is better for the planet.
I find it hilarious since we both are from India, and an incredible amount of people utilise the 3.5 mm jack for their $10 earphones. You do not even understand or care for the demographic choice, and are encouraging people buy wireless TWS they need to replace every 2 years, when they can get by with wired earphones half the price. Within a span of 10 years, people would buy $20 of wired earphones versus $500 of wireless ones. This does not even include the possibility of many people losing one of the two wireless earbuds, causing another purchase.
