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?

    That pill has less than 4000 responses, and is an online poll that anyone can manipulate. It’s worth less than the hosting costs it’s using.

    Most people that use wireless headphones on their phones won’t also use wired headphones on their phone. There’s just no point, and it’s far less convenient.

    Your point about making more money is right and wrong. It’s right because they make more money because people want wireless headphones, but the fact that they’re not proprietary means you don’t have to buy your phone manufacturers headphones. I for example don’t use AirPods with my iPhone, I use Sony ones, so apple didn’t make more money from me on headphones. Companies are making more and more wireless headphones because that’s what the market wants.

    There’s also the fact that every 3.5mm enthusiast overlooks - a simple $5 adapter on your headphone cable means you can use your wired headphones.
