While they were happy with what the fairphone 4 brought to the table, they seem to like what was changed for the fairphone 5.
What are you guys' opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?

Technology evolves?

You need an extra clump of stuff in your pocket that's terribly unreliable now or your top shelf standard audio equipment now needs replaced by our branded earbuds that sound terrible. PROGRESS.

This isn't progress. This is forced obsolescence. Literally everything about it is worse. I can put my phone in a plastic baggie when it's raining, but I'm not carrying around an extra fucking DAC/amp everywhere. I just have to deal with crappy wireless earbuds.

What company does this? I keep hearing the argument, but I have no clue who it is.

I haven't found a phone my Jabra headsets couldn't connect to. Only my ps4, but that is not really part of this discussion.
