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?

See, you just described a thing and made a statement, but I don't buy that one bit. I've broken several 3.5mm plugs but never once a USB-C.

I'm on the side of 3.5mm in phones, but there's a reason XLR and 1/4" are the industry standards for audio.

I'm the opposite. I've broken several USB-C connectors, and not one 3.5mm

XLRs on phones? I can get behind that.
