If you want a smartphone with a long life, Fairphone is leading the industry.

Fairphone is unique in the world of smartphones. It’s pretty much the only company trying to build a sustainable device that isn’t glued together and hostile to the repair community. Today, Fairphone is announcing a brand-new flagship: the Fairphone 4, which brings an updated design and better specs while still shipping with all the modularity you would expect.

    I mean, they need a USB-C port anyways.
    But yeah, you can just take a needle and scoop out the dust from the headphone jack.

      With usb-c this works because it’s shallow and closed off. 3.5mm jacks have springy contacts that need a bit more room so you can’t really reach everything. Also many smd sockets don’t have sealed bodys so maybe they were also hard to source.
