Yes, it has been said that choices were made to keep the price reasonable. But was this the case for every single component? Perhaps it was due to the higher cost of the USB 3 licence? Or perhaps it was because of the jack plug (for earphones/headphones), as this saves money, just as others are increasingly doing.
J’aime bien débattre dans le respect 😉 même en cas de profonds désaccords ! Merci.
Le manque de respect, d’équité et de bienveillance m’horripile au + haut point.
En cas d’erreur/inexactitudes j’apprécie les remarques mais avec tacte et de préférence des sources.

I agree, because I have a Fairphone 3 and I am very tempted by the concept of the new Fairphone (Gen 6). However, I have 3 main reservations. The first is the downgrading from USB 3 to USB 2, the second is the number of screws that need to be removed just to replace the battery, and the last is the jack socket for wired headphones, which doesn’t seem to be there any more.
I don’t know if this is to improve waterproofing or simply to prevent accidents if the phone is dropped, but I find it convenient to have two batteries that I can swap when I’m on the go to avoid charging time.
And for USB, because it saves my mobile data and is very useful for transferring photos, documents, etc. And if I understand correctly, if it were possible, the time would be considerably longer, which doesn’t suit me at all.
Also, the lack of a jack plug. Because I don’t want 100% wireless.
Because open source, like the right to privacy and the diversity it can offer, always has something for everyone.
In the end, W*'s recent choices, such as ReCall, and the intrusions into our privacy, finally convinced me to begin my transition.
Until now, I had been observing opinions for the past five years.
The fact is that I am not a programmer or a specialist in these subjects, just a very small amateur, and Linux has long been off-putting.
Having the time and a computer to experiment is not that easy. But with an old computer, I finally have the opportunity to test Linux Mint… Others will undoubtedly follow.
I always say that to change operating systems, you first have to figure out how to replace proprietary software or applications with open source ones, because most of them are also available on Linux.
That’s what I did on my mobile, and now the next step is to choose a custom ROM such as Lineage or /e/OS, etc.
