Cars with wired input. More reliable than Bluetooth and not annoying when it connects when you don't want to.
Fairphone do sell a type c to 3.5mm adapter you can use. Or just grab a cheap one off somewhere online.
I mean sure, if they were all the same standard or marked on the packaging as to which standard your phone uses, and what standard the adaptor uses would be easy.
I've lost the headphone jack since moving from my S10+ to a pixel 7 pro. The convenience is missed but not forgotten.
That would essentially be designing for the past. Agree many cars still have it but new cars have usb
You underestimate how old average cars in some countries are. 15 years old in Poland for example. They are from times where smartphones were barerly a thing. And thats average. Many are even older.
I do not.
Like I said though, these devs want to build for the next 20 year cars, they simply aren't interested in 15 year old car connectivity. I'm not excusing them.
Also, you can get 3.5mm to USB cords for super cheap. Just use that instead of a 3.5mm to 3.5mm problem solved. We don't need dedicated ports for everything.
(And before anyone say charging you can get 3.5mm and charging split connectors)
