I see a lot of people complaining that the Fairphone 6 doesn’t have an Aux jack.

Just use an adapter cable.

A 3.5mm Aux jack takes up a significant amount of space just to connect a few wires that could be connected through USB-C anyway, that space could be used for a bigger battery.

Even if there was a good enough reason to keep Aux it should be 2.5mm Aux and not the usual 3.5 as it does exactly the same thing but uses less space

    I bought a y-shaped cable for exactly this the other day.

    Usb c on one end, aux and usb a on the other end.

      But does it charge the phone while you listen?

          I assume you have another extender from the usb-a to a power socket, or do you sit against the wall/outlet and listen?

            This particular cable is more intended for connecting to a stereo + charger, so those would be close together.

            I’m mainly using it with one of these stereos, but it would be good in a car too:

            If you want to connect headphones+charge, the dongle style adapters may be a better fit:

            Though you could use a usb or aux extension on either of the shorter ends of the first cable I showed if you wanted too.
