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?

Adapters are literally <5 USD including shipping on AliExpress. At that point it's not about the price if you're buying a phone anyways, because the cheap phones haven't abandoned the aux jack.

Also the digital usb adapters should work on any phone (and computer), unlike the "dumb" ones that trigger the DAC inside the phone (if there is one).
