      And 2 years of security updates.

      They type of person who owns a set of wired headphones or earphones for over a decade doesn’t replace their phone every 2 years.

      And these days you really shouldn’t try and keep a device on the internet without updates.

      It’s why the fair phone got rightly trashed when they ditched the headphone jack. Battery powered ear buds were completely against their demographics

      HMD make decent repairable phones with a headphone jack. They took the Nokia brand for a while but they’re now just HMD and they’re doing some cool modular stuff with cases too.

      They discontinued the 5 while I was waiting for it -.- And “We continue to produce the old version” was missing the “and prolong the software support window”. I think I have to usb or bluetooth dongle with my next phone.
