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

    In the previous car I used a cassette adapter to plug in my phone.

    I live check to check. I can’t afford a new phone, a trip to the dealer or a new stereo.

    My preference for sound is that I would rather pay rent and eat food than waste money on technology to remove the wires. Sure it would be nice, but lots of nice things are just not affordable.

      Fair enough.

      It seems to me that, if money were no object, it makes sense generally to go wireless. We don’t all have to agree on that point, which I guess is the whole topic.

      Money IS an object and not everyone can full replace for every new technology, but in the long run audio tech has gone through several wholesale changes. The pace of those changes are driven by what is profitable I suppose, so really it’s a question of how long to hold back. It certainly seems like we are on the cusp of a changeover.
