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?

True, worn out 3.5mm jacks are very annoying.

I'm in no way trying to imply they're perfect - IMO there's always room for improvement. I just don't think a low tolerance 10 gigabit, 100W capable connector is the right choice to replace a port that gets a lot of abuse.

I did get a bit carried away in my response though tbh, I did not notice you were focused on the morals part - I agree a connector jack is not a moral issue

I just double checked OP's post (now edited) and couldn't see anything related to morals though, unless they've removed it?

yea original comment included something along the lines of "im not going to buy it even if i don't need a 3.5mm jack, just out of morals"
