      The idea is that you don’t detach the adapter from your headphones. My experience is that it kinda works, there are even ones that allow you to charge at the same time.

      I have some sympathy for Fairphone in that regard because they pay more for the materials and workers than Apple, so it forces their hand to a degree to save costs at other places. A friend has the Fairphone 3 and says the camera is unusably bad… So yeah, they cut costs and consumers stay away because they may need them. I need two physical SIM slots, for example and Fairphone has one since the 4 or so.

        Headphone jack is not about cost cutting, it’s about selling something with a higher profit margin.

        And not detaching the adapter doesn’t work when you have multiple devices.
