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

    I think razors, thoothbrushes, etc are exempt from the standard because their connectors have to be water resistant, which USB-C isn’t. So probably not happening for now.

      Perhaps, but there are many waterproof USB-C devices that you can swim with, so I don’t think it should be much of an issue.

        Have you tried swimming while charging said device? Mobiles like my Pixel 7 will disable it’s USB port if it detects water. I doubt anything could have waterproof usb port outside of sealing the port with external mechanism.
