So a fairphone? Though it doesn't provide wireless charging I think.

And no headphone jack

Yeah that was probably the wrong decision, following their mantra. But personally it doesn't bother me too much. I'm pretty happy with it

  1. Make repairable phone

  2. Remove headphone jack and release wireless bud that not repairable (TWS earbud)

  3. Piss off community

  4. ???

  5. Profit?

(i know fairbud now better, but was not back then)
