              They had to, I’m guessing. At this point nobody is manufacturing headphone jack hardware for smartphones.

                I’m pretty sure that DACs and 3.5mm jacks are still being manufactured

                  Then it’s likely cheaper to make a bluetooth headphones phone than include a 3.5mm jack? Or they could just be greedy, although I would hope FairPhone won’t turn to the dark side so soon.

                  Excuse me, this is meant to be an admin account for c/OpenTTD@lemmy.zip so I’ll have to return to whence I came.
