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

      A bad cable and entirely useless for the given scenario. Nice.

        What makes it a bad cable?

        This is the only audio cable I’ve needed/wanted for a phone in around 5 years. (note, the picture is just an example of the style, not the exact brand I happened to purchase)

        For years I refused to even try wireless headphones/earbuds because I was stuck on hurdles like battery life, Bluetooth reliability/range, or the possibility of losing one; but once I actually gave some a try, particularly a good quality set, I honestly couldn’t be happier and have come to prefer them over wired headphones quite significantly (specifically for mobile devices). It was genuinely a mental hurdle more than anything. Once I got off my high horse, stopped hating wireless headphones mostly on principle, and realized they actually fit my needs perfectly; I’ve found the only place I want/need both aux and power connections is at a non-bluetooth stereo.

        So now, when I want to charge while playing music at a stereo; this cable is perfect, providing power to the phone and audio to the stereo without some bulky dongle hanging off of your usb c port wearing it out. Since switching to wireless headphones, and buying one of these cables, I have had no desire for anything else.
