I just got an email from Fairphone that something new is coming on the 09.05 - a whole new category.

My hot take is on a tablet. What do you think?

Edit: so the whole new category is earbuds. Somewhat disappointing, but replaceable batteries for earbuds are nice, I guess.

    it takes away my charging port

    is that really the main issue? if so, there are also adapters, which also expose the charging port

      Read the rest of my post. That’s not all.

      Have you ever tried one of these adapters? There will be compatibility issues with some headphones, as it always is. Also, it is a true nuisance to have an adapter with an unused charging port dangling around when picking it up and going anywhere even within the workplace.

      There’s other posts on Lemmy that go much more into detail on why Bluetooth headphones are not the go to solution for all situations and the issues that come with adapters.

      Seriously, why all these workarounds when phones could just have a jack? Fortunately there are (still) brands that offer that.

        Sony is a real G here, just a shame you can’t use GrapheneOS / CalyxOS on their latest devices.
